SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION AT POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Craven:

This letter is to request information to support our scheduled Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning August 10, 2020, at your Point Beach Station, Units 1 and 2. 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, a web-based document repository, or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by July 24, 2020. Mr. Christopher Hunt, 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. Christopher Hunt at 630-829-9511 or Christopher.Hunt@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. Craven 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, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Typically, the lead inspector may request to talk to/interview approximately 20 to 40 personnel, either in groups of 4 to 8 individuals or by walking around, to seek information about the plants SCWE. Due to the current pandemic environment, the lead inspector will work with your staff to arrange a suitable forum to conduct these interviews, considering current social distancing guidelines, site personnel availability due to remote working arrangements, and the physical presence of the inspection team on site. If on site interviews are conducted, the inspectors will choose from your furnished organization charts, or by virtue of staff availability, people they would like to interview and ask you to set up times and locations. The inspector will provide his selections at least one day prior to a suggested interview date.
