DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Bezilla:

On June 23, 2008, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure IP 71111.17. The on-site portion of the inspection will take place on June 23 through June 27, 2008 and July 7 through July 11, 2008.

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 four groups.

The first group is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be available for review by the Regional Office no later than April 18, 2008. The second group of documents requested by the inspection team, are specific items for review by the Regional Office no later than June 6, 2008. The third group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection, and should be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, June 23, 2008. The fourth 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. Melvin Holmberg. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Jerry Wolf (419) 321-8001 of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9748 or via e-mail at msh@nrc.gov.

M. Bezilla 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).
