SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION AT ZION NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Daly:

This letter is to request information to support the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs)

Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning January 22, 2013, at the permanently shut down Zion Nuclear Power Station, as discussed with Mr. Patrick Thurman on December 11, 2012. This inspection will be performed using NRC Inspection Procedure (IP)

Nos. 71152 and 40801.

Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and licensee 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 to support the inspection effort.

The documents requested are copies of condition reports, procedures, self-assessment and audit reports, safety culture surveys and other information relevant to our evaluation of your corrective action program and Zion Station safety culture. The documents are necessary to ensure the NRC inspection team is provided with information sufficient to conduct an effective inspection. We request that the information be available in both hard copy format and electronically for our inspection team on January 22, 2013. We do not request that this information be provided in advance of the onsite inspection.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. James Neurauter, the lead inspector for this effort. Mr. Neurauter can be reached at 630-829-9828 or at james.neurauter@nrc.gov. Mr. Wayne Slawinski can also be contacted at 630-829-9820 or at wayne.slawinski@nrc.gov should Mr. Neurauter be unavailable.

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.

P. Daly In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,
