SUBJECT:
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Palmisano:
On March 7, 2005, the NRC will begin the baseline inservice inspection (NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.08) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The on-site inspection is scheduled to be performed March 7 - 11, 2005.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources 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 two groups. The first group identifies information required in advance and necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared for the inspection. The second group identifies the information that 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 on-site portion of the inspection.
We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. R. Baumer of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the inspector, Mr. Tom Bilik, at (630) 829-9744 or via email at txb@nrc.gov.
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
T. Palmisano 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,
/RA/
