SUBJECT: INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM
IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION AT POINT BEACH NUCLEAR
PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2
Dear Mr. Coffey:
This letter is to request information to support our scheduled problem identification and
resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning October 31, 2016, at Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1
and 2. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) baseline Inspection Procedure 71152.
Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the
NRC inspectors and the utility 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
for the inspection.
The documents requested are copies of action requests/condition reports (AR/CRs) and lists of
information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection.
The information requested prior to the inspection may be provided in electronic format by either
a CD, DVD, or a website and should be provided for NRC review by October 17, 2016.
Mr. John Rutkowski, the Lead Inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of
providing the requested information.
If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please
contact Mr. Rutkowski at 630-829-9730 or john.rutkowski@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.
R. Coffey -2-
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 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
(PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
