SUBJECT:
DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Crane:
On September 18, 2006, the NRC will begin a 10 CFR 50.59 and Permanent Plant Modifications Baseline Inspection at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC Baseline Inspection Procedures IP 71111.02 and IP 71111.17B. The on-site portion of the inspection will take place on September 18 through September 21, 2006, and October 2 through October 6, 2006.
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 Region III Office no later than August 18, 2006. The inspection team will review the information, and by September 1, 2006, will request specific items that should be available for review by September 8, 2006. 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 will be requested for review in the Regional Office the week prior to the inspection. The remaining documents should be available at the plant on September 18, 2006, the first day of the on-site inspection.
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 on-site portions of the inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Al Walker. We understand that our regulatory contact for the inspection is Joe Griffin 815 416-2813 of your organization. If there are questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9728 or via e-mail at HAW@nrc.gov.
