SUBJECT: QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION
REQUEST FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND
10 CFR 50.59 BASELINE INSPECTION 05000254/2016008; 05000265/2016008
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On August 8, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Triennial
Permanent Modifications and Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50.59 Baseline
Inspection at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. This inspection will be
performed in accordance with the NRC Baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite
portion of the inspection will take place on August 8 - 12, 2016, and August 22 - 26, 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 June 3, 2016. The
inspection team will review this information and, by June 24, 2016, will request specific
items that should be provided for review in the regional office by July 22, 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 July 22, 2016, as identified above. The remaining documents should be
available by the first day of the onsite inspection, August 8, 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.
