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:

Requested Action: Date:

Section A Information October 20, 2020

Section B Information November 2, 2020

Section C Information November 16, 2020

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.

B. Hanson -2-

We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. R. Swart of your

organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact the lead inspector Matthew Domke at 630-829-9562.

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
