PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -
INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE TRIENNIAL PERMANENT PLANT
MODIFICATIONS AND EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, OR
EXPERIMENTS (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION
05000282/2011012(DRS); 05000306/2011012(DRS)
Dear Mr. Schimmel:
On October 31, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59
baseline inspection at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. 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 October 31 - November 4, 2011, and
November 14 - 18, 2011.
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 of information is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately
prepared for the inspection. This information should be made available via compact disc and
delivered to the regional office no later than September 26, 2011. The inspection team will review
this information and, by September 30, 2011, will request specific items that should be provided for
review in the regional office by October 14, 2011.
The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the inspection team will
review, or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents contained within this group,
i.e., Item (1), will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by
October 14, 2011, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first
day of the on-site inspection, October 31, 2011.

The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified
as a result of the inspection. The remaining documents in group three should be available by the
first day of the on-site inspection, October 31, 2011. 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.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our
regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Sam J. DiPasquale of your organization. If there are
any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
(630) 829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection
requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-0011.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for
information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a
currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
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).
