FOR NRC TRIENNIAL EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND

EXPERIMENTS (50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT

05000266/2021010; 05000301/2021010

Dear Mr. Strope:

On May 17, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a 50.59 Baseline

Inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear 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 May 17, 2021.

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 (or alternative) and delivered to the regional office no later than April 5, 2021. The

inspection team will review this information and, by April 19, 2021, will request specific

items that should be provided for review in the regional office by May 3, 2021.

• 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 3, 2021, as identified above. The remaining documents should be

available by the first day of the onsite inspection, May 17, 2021.

• 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.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. John V. Bozga. We understand that our licensing

contact for this inspection is Mr. T. Schneider of your organization. If there are any questions

about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead

inspector at 630-829-9613.

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

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections,

Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
