REPORT 05000483/2010003)
AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr.Heflin: On June 7-18, 2010, Reactor Inspectors
from NRC's Region IV office will perform the baseline inspection
of heat sink performance
and changes, tests, experiments, and permanent plant modifications
at Callaway Nuclear Power Plant, using NRC Inspection
Procedure 71111.07,"Heat Sink Performance", and NRC Inspection
Procedure 71111.17,"Evaluations
of Changes, Tests, Experiments, and PermanentPlantModifications." Experience
has shown that this inspection
is resource intensive both for 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 arequestfor
documents needed for this inspection.
Upon review of these documents, the inspectors
will select additional
documentation
for review upon arrival.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
