The post-approval site inspection procedure (IP-71003) is encompassed within the inspection programs described in both IMC 2516 , “License Renewal Inspection Program,” and IMC 2515 , “Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program — Operations Phase.” (The NRC acknowledges that the current version of the procedure restricts the program applicability to IMC 2515, but it should also reference IMC 2516; the agency will implement this minor change in the next revision.) For the situation addressed in the question, the regional staff could invoke the infrequent operations activity of the inspection program (Reactor Oversight Process), as described in Appendix C to IMC 2515. The regional staff will consult with the NRR staff to assess the appropriate time to perform this inspection activity. It should be noted that in some cases under the IMC 2516 program, the outage before the extended period of operation is very close (in the same quarter); so the team effort during normal operations may occur bef
