TRIENNIAL EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS (50.59)
BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000456/2020011;
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On January 13, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a
50.59 Baseline Inspection at the Braidwood Station. 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 January 13, 2020.
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
CD and delivered to the regional office no later than December 2, 2019. The inspection
team will review this information and, by December 16, 2019, will request specific items
that should be provided for review in the regional office by December 30, 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 December 30, 2019, as identified above. The remaining documents
should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, January 13, 2020.
- 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.
