INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R) INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Schwarz:
This letter is to request information to support our PI&R inspection beginning January 11, 2010, at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71152.
Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection.
The documents requested are copies of performance reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information may be provided in either CD-ROM or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by January 4, 2010. Mr. Robert Lerch, the Lead Inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the requested information.
If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please do not hesitate to call Mr. Lerch at 630-829-9759 or Robert.Lerch@nrc.gov.
Christopher J. Schwarz In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 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).
