SUBJECT:
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59)
BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Koehl:
On Tuesday, November 13, 2007, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) Baseline Inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. 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 November 13 - 16, and November 26 - 30, 2007.
Experience has shown that these baseline inspections are 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 two groups. The Group I documents should be sent to the Regional Office no later than October 29, 2007. The inspection team will review this information, and within one week of receipt of the information will request specific items for review. The Group II documents contain items that the team will review, or need access to, beginning the first on-site day of 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 Mr. S. Sheldon. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Ms. F. Flentje of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9727 or via e-mail at SNS2@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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
