SUBJECT:
LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNIT 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Crane:
On February 7, 2005, the NRC will begin the baseline inservice inspection at the LaSalle County Station, Unit 2. This on-site inspection will be performed February 7 - 11, 2005, in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.08.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources 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.
We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. P. Holland of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the inspector, Mr. James Neurauter at (630) 829-9828.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 NRC's
C. Crane 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).
Sincerely,
