SUBJECT:

SCHEDULE FOR THE 95003 SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION AT THE POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT

Dear Mr. Cayia:

In a letter dated May 9, 2003, we notified you of our intent to conduct a 95003 supplemental inspection at Point Beach in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0305 (IMC 0305), Operating Reactor Assessment Program. The supplemental inspection was determined to be warranted by the Red inspection finding associated with the potential common mode failure of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system due to a loss of instrument air. The Red inspection finding was discussed in the Final Significance Determination letter sent to you, dated July 12, 2002, and in Inspection Report 50-266/02-15(DRP); 50-301/02-15(DRP), issued on April 2, 2003.

The 95003 inspection will consist of three separate team inspection activities: a review of your corrective action program, with an emphasis on problem identification; a review of your emergency preparedness program; and a review of your engineering, operations, and maintenance programs, with an emphasis on corrective action implementation and on design engineering. In design engineering, we will focus on the auxiliary feedwater system, the component cooling water system, and the 125-volt direct current electrical system.

We plan to conduct the onsite portion of the corrective action team inspection for 2 weeks beginning the week of July 28. The emergency preparedness team inspection will also be a 2 week inspection, beginning the week of August 4, 2003. The onsite portion of the engineering, operations, and maintenance team inspection will be conducted the weeks of September 8, 2003 and September 22, 2003. Exit meetings for these inspections will be scheduled at a later date. I am the team leader for the overall 95003 inspection effort and Mike Kunowski is the assistant team leader. Please direct any questions regarding the inspections to me or Mike.

Enclosed with the letter is a list of documents requested prior to the corrective action team inspection. Please provide those documents to this office by close of business on July 18, 2003. Document requests for the emergency preparedness team inspection and the engineering, operations, and maintenance team inspection will be sent to you separately.

A. Cayia In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "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 NRCs 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).

If you have any questions regarding the inspection schedule and the document request, please contact me at (630) 829-9620 or Mike Kunowski at (630) 829-9618.

Sincerely,

/RA by Michael Kunowski Acting for/
