May 17, 2005 Mr. Christopher M. Crane President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

UPCOMING BYRON PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R)

INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Crane:

On June 13, 2005, the NRC will begin the biennial problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Byron Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline inspection procedure 71152.

Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection.

The documents requested are copies of condition reports and lists of information, necessary in order to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The documents should be ready for NRC review by May 31, 2005. Mr. Nirodh Shah, the lead inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the information to the inspectors.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please call Nirodh Shah at 815-458-2852.

C. Crane 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 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/

David Passehl, Acting Chief Branch 3 Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-454; 50-455 License Nos. NPF-37; NPF-66
