REPORT 05000254/2020012; 05000265/2020012
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On November 16, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71003 Section 02.02.d. (Phase IV). This
onsite inspection is scheduled to be performed November 16, 2020, through November 20,
2020.
The purpose of the inspection is to review the implementation of The Aging Management
Program (AMP) elements during the Period of Extended Operation (PEO). The inspection team
will select for review a sample of the sites AMPs.
This Request for Information is separated into three Sections (A, B and C). Section A
information will be used to facilitate the AMP sample selections. The team leader will make
AMP selections and inform the licensee. Based on these selections, the licensee will provide
the additional information requested under Section B. This information will be used as part of
the inspection preparation and implementation. Requests under Section C should be available
to the inspectors during the on-site week of inspection. See the table below for specific dates:

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and
your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources, and to ensure a productive
inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this 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 portion of
the inspection.
