SUBJECT: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANTINFORMATION REQUEST
FOR NRC TRIENNIAL EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND
EXPERIMENTS (50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION
REPORT 05000263/2019011
Dear Mr. Church:
On June 3, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a 50.59 baseline
inspection at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. This inspection will be performed in
accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite portion of the
inspection will take place during the week of June 3, 2019.
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 April 15, 2019. The
inspection team will review this information and, by April 29, 2019, will request specific
items that should be provided for review in the regional office by May 13, 2019.
- 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 May 13, 2019, as identified above. The remaining documents should be
available by the first day of the onsite inspection, June 3, 2019.
- 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.

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.
This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at

Please provide three copies of each CD submitted (i.e., one for each inspector). The
preferred file format is a searchable pdf file. The CDs should be indexed and hyper-
linked to facilitate ease of use, if possible. If you have any questions regarding this
information, please call the inspection team leader as soon as possible.

c. Changes to calculations (or initiation of new calculations) that have been
issued. The list should contain the number and title of each document, a
brief description of the change, and the corresponding number and type
