SUBJECT:
BYRON STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN
NRC TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59
(MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION 05000454/20140007; 05000455/2014007
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
On June 9, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59
Baseline inspection at the Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. This inspection will be performed in
accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.17T. The onsite portion of
the inspection will take place on June 9 - 13 and June 23 - 27, 2014.
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 April 25, 2014. The inspection team will review this
information and, by May 9, 2014, will request specific items that should be provided for review in
the regional office by May 23, 2014.
The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review,
or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents contained within Group II (i.e.,
Item 1), will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by May 23,
2014, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the
onsite inspection, June 9, 2014.
The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues
identified as a result of the inspection. 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 onsite portions of the inspection.
