SUBJECT:
POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL BASELINE
COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION (CDBI) 05000266/2008009(DRS);
Dear Mr. McCarthy:
On June 23, 2008, the NRC will begin a triennial baseline Component Design Bases Inspection
(CDBI) at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. A team of six inspectors will perform this
3-week inspection. This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC Baseline
Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21.
The CDBI inspection focuses on components that have high risk and low design margins. The
components to be reviewed during this baseline inspection will be identified during an in-office
preparation week prior to the first week of the on-site inspection. In addition, a number of risk
significant operator actions and operating experience issues, associated with the component
samples, will also be selected for review.
The inspection will include three weeks on-site, including the information gathering during the
first on-site week. The inspection team will consist of six NRC inspectors, of which five will
focus on engineering and one on operations. The current inspection schedule is as follows:
On-site weeks: June 23, 2008, through June 27, 2008;
July 7, 2008, through July 11, 2008; and
July 21, 2008, through July 25, 2008.
The team will be preparing for the inspection, mainly during the week of June 16, 2008, as
discussed in the attached enclosure. A Region III Senior Reactor Analyst may accompany the
inspection team during the week of June 23, 2008, to review probabilistic risk assessment data,
and assist in identifying risk significant components, which will be reviewed during the
inspection.
Experience with previous baseline design inspections of similar depth and length has shown
that these types of 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 information needed for
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. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead
inspector. The information request has been divided into three groups:
The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping activities.
This information should be provided to the lead inspector no later than May 12, 2008. By
May 30, 2008, the lead inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately
30 high risk components.
The second group of documents requested are those items needed to support our in-office
preparation activities. This set of documents, including the calculations associated with the
initial selected components, should be provided to the lead inspector at the Regional Office
no later than June 9, 2008. During the in-office preparation activities, the team may identify
additional information needed to support the inspection.
The third and last group includes the additional information above, as well as plant
specific reference material. This information should be available to the team onsite on
June 23, 2008. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions
developed during the inspection be provided to the lead inspector as the documents are
generated.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Zelig Falevits. We understand that our licensing
contact for this inspection is Ms. Fritzie Flentje of your organization. If there are any questions
about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead
inspector at (630) 829-9717 or via e-mail at zelig.falevits@nrc.gov.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at
