CLINTON POWER STATION INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59)

BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Pardee:

On January 26, 2009, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Clinton 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 January 26 through January 30, 2009, and February 9 through February 13, 2009.

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 made available via compact disc to the Regional Office no later than November 21, 2008. The inspection team will review this information and, by December 12, 2008, will request specific items that should be available for review by January 12, 2008. 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 prior to the inspection. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, January 26, 2008. 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.

C. Pardee The lead inspector for this inspection is Alan Dahbur. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Ron Frantz; (217) 937-2813 of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9810 or via e-mail at alan.dahbur@nrc.gov.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, 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).

Sincerely,
