SUBJECT:
BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
In a telephone conversation on April 15, 2013, Mr. M. Bielby, Lead Inspector, and Mr. R.
Cameron, Requalification Training, arranged for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to inspect the licensed operator Requalification Program at the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2. Additionally, Mr. C. Vandernburg and Mr. M. Abbas, Regulatory Assurance, have been informed by telephone to make arrangements for the NRC to conduct an inspection using Temporary Instruction (TI)-186, Inspection of Procedures and Processes for Responding to Potential Aircraft Threats, at Braidwood Station. These concurrent inspections are scheduled for the week of July 22, 2013, which coincides with your regularly scheduled requalification examination cycle. The staff at your facility should prepare and conduct the requalification examinations in accordance with your NRC-Approved Requalification Program.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 55.59(c), the NRC may request facility licensees to submit their biennial comprehensive requalification written examinations or annual operating tests as necessary to support the NRCs inspection program needs. In order for the NRC to adequately prepare for this inspection, please furnish the written examinations and operating tests scheduled for the week of the inspection to the NRC by week of July 15, 2013. Mr. Cameron has been advised of this request and provided with the name and address of the NRC lead inspector assigned to this inspection.
The TI-186 NRC inspector will require a shift manager-qualified individual, qualified unit supervisors and a qualified security shift supervisor for either simulator or a table top scenario to allow inspection of TI-186 attributes. Additionally, in order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources, and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, please have available the procedures that would be followed to respond to an aircraft threat and any related lesson plans pertinent to the inspection. Additionally, the inspector needs to review your aircraft threat procedure and a list of corrective action reports regarding licensed operator issues the week before the inspection.
M. Pacilio This letter contains information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approval number 3150-0018.

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
