SUBJECT:
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION, 05000266/2003010(DRS); 05000301/2003010(DRS)
Dear Mr. Cayia:
On December 15, 2003, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures IP 71111.02 and IP 71111.17. The on-site portion of the inspection will take place December 15 - 19, 2003.
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 is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be available to the Regional Office by no later than December 4, 2003. The inspection team will review this information and, by December 10, 2003, will request specific items that should be available for review when the team arrives on site. The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the on-site inspection, December 15, 2003. 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 Robert Daley. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Fritzi Flentji of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9749 or via e-mail at RCD@nrc.gov.
