SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT- NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Madison:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region II staff will conduct a problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, during the weeks of September 11-15 and 25-26, 2017. The inspection will be led by Mr. Necota Staples, a Senior Project Inspector. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure, Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, issued February 26, 2015.

The biennial PI&R inspection and assessment of the licensees Corrective Action Program (CAP) complements and expands upon the resident baseline inspections of routine daily screening of all corrective action program issues, quarterly focused issue reviews, and semiannual trend PI&R reviews.

On July 18, 2017, Mr. Staples confirmed, with Ms. Julie Collier of your staff, arrangements for an information gathering site visit and the two-week onsite inspection.

The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection. Please have the referenced information available prior to August 23, 2017. Contact Mr. Staples with any questions concerning the requested information. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.

If additional documents are needed, they will be requested when identified. Prior to the onsite inspection, Mr. Staples will discuss with your staff the following inspection support administrative details: availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection; method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection; access to licensee computers; working space; arrangements for site access; and other applicable information.

D. Madison 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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).
