SUBJECT:

BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NRC TRIENNIAL EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS (50.59)

BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000456/2020011; 05000457/2020011

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On January 13, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a 50.59 Baseline Inspection at the Braidwood Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place during the week of January 13, 2020.

Experience has shown that these baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups.

  • The first group of information is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be made available via CD and delivered to the regional office no later than December 2, 2019. The inspection team will review this information and, by December 16, 2019, will request specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by December 30, 2019.
  • The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents contained within Group II (i.e., Item (1)), will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by December 30, 2019, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, January 13, 2020.
  • The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the 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 the onsite portions of the inspection. The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Ijaz Hafeez. We understand that our licensing contact for this inspection is Mr. Richard Schliessmann of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9843 or via e-mail at Ijaz.Hafeez@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 3150-0011. 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.

This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA John Bozga Acting for/

Ijaz Hafeez, Reactor Inspector Engineering Branch 3 Division of Reactor Safety
