SUBJECT: PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC

TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59)

BASELINE INSPECTION 05000440/2016007

Dear Mr. Hamilton:

On May 9, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59

baseline inspection at the Duane Arnold Energy Center. This inspection will be performed in

accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite portions of

the inspection will take place on May 9 - 13, 2016, and May 23 - 27, 2016.

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 March 7, 2016. The

inspection team will review this information and, by April 4, 2016, will request specific

items that should be provided for review in the regional office by April 18, 2016.

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 April 18, 2016, as identified above. The remaining documents should

be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, May 9, 2016.

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.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Atif Shaikh. We understand that our regulatory

contact for this inspection is Mr. David Lockwood of your organization. If there are any

questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at

(630) 829-9824 or via e-mail at Atif.Shaikh@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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public

Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy

of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public

inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS)

component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).
