SUBJECT:
DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 2 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
Dear Mr. Pardee:
On October 5, 2009, the NRC will begin a Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal at Dresden Unit 2, in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003. This inspection consists of three phases: an outage portion, a team inspection, and a follow-up inspection.
During the weeks of October 5, 2009 and October 19, 2009, a team of four inspectors will be on-site to perform Phase 2 of the inspection. Also, starting on November 9, 2009, two inspectors will perform Phase 1 of the inspection.
This inspection will focus on verifying that license conditions added as part of the renewed license, license renewal commitments, and selected aging management programs are implemented in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54, Requirements for the Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants.
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 two groups:
- The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping and in-office preparation activities. This information should be provided to the lead inspector by September 18, 2009.
- The second group includes the additional information required for the team to review the selected activities. This information should be available to the team on-site October 5, 2009. 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 Dr. Stuart Sheldon. We understand that our licensing contact for this inspection is Mr. Joe Griffin 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) 829-9727 or via e-mail at Stuart.Sheldon@nrc.gov.

Pardee 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 (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
