SUBJECT:
DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 2 NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSERVICE BASELINE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Skolds:
On October 20, 2003, the NRC will begin the Inservice baseline inspection at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 2. This on-site inspection will be performed October 20-24, 2003, in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures 71111.08.
Experience has shown that the this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and your staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group, identifies information necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared. The second group identifies the information the inspector will need upon arrival at the site. 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 inspector for this inspection is Melvin Holmberg. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is T. Heisterman of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the inspector at (630) 829-9748.
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
J. Skolds 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).
