SUBJECT: DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC
TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59)
BASELINE INSPECTION 05000331/2010-007(DRS)
Dear Mr. Costanzo:
On September 13, 2010, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Permanent
Plant Modifications 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at your Duane Arnold
Energy Center. 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
September 13 - 17, 2010, and September 27 - October 1, 2010.
Experience has shown that these baseline inspections are 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
August 13, 2010. The inspection team will review this information and, by August 20, 2010, will
request specific items (second group of documents requested) that should be available for
review by September 3, 2010. The third group lists information that should be available by the
first day of the on-site inspection and/or is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking
issues identified as a result of 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.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Ms. Caroline Tilton. We understand that our regulatory
contact for this inspection is Mr. B. Murell of your organization. If there are any questions about
the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9718 or
via e-mail at caroline.tilton@nrc.gov.
