SUBJECT:

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR POWER STATION INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Koehl:

On December 12, 2005, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Station. 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 on December 12 through December 16, 2005.

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 November 21, 2005. The inspection team will review this information and, by November 28, 2005, 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. Certain documents in Group II.(1) will be requested for review in the Regional Office the week prior to the inspection. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, December 12, 2005.

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 Mr. Robert Daley. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Lisa Scofield (920) 755-6043 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.

D. Koehl 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).
