UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION III 2443 WARRENVILLE ROAD, SUITE 210 LISLE, IL 60532-4352 July 25, 2012 Mr. Richard L. Anderson Vice President NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC 3277 DAEC Road Palo, IA 52324-9785
SUBJECT:
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On October 9, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal at your Duane Arnold Energy Center. This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003. This inspection will focus on outage related activities to verify that license conditions added as part of your renewed license and a sample of license renewal commitments have been implemented.
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. During the in-office preparation activities, the team will identify as much as possible the information and activities to be reviewed during the inspection. This information should be provided to the lead inspector by September 21, 2012.
- The second group includes the additional information required for the team to review the selected activities. This information should be available to the team onsite October 9, 2012.
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 primary contact for this inspection is Mr. Ken Putnam 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.
R. Anderson 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).
Sincerely,
/RA/
