SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION AT THE LASALLE COUNTY STATION

Dear Mr. Hanson:

This letter is to request information to support our scheduled Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning May 1, 2017, at your LaSalle County Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the 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 condition reports 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 either CD-ROM/DVD (preferred) or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by April 10, 2017. Mr. Charles Phillips, 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. Phillips at 630-829-9572 or Charles.Phillips@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.

B. Hanson 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 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

Karla Stoedter, Chief Branch 1 Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-373; 50-374 License Nos. NPF-11; NPF-18
