SUBJECT: FERMI POWER PLANT, INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NRC TRIENNIAL

EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS (50.59)

BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000341/2021011

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

On June 21, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a 50.59 Baseline

Inspection at the Fermi-2 Power 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 on June 21-25, 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 electronic files

available/accessible from the regional office no later than May 03, 2021. The inspection

team will review this information and, by May 14, 2021, will request specific records that

should be provided for review in the regional office by June 7, 2021.

• The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will

review, or need access to, prior to the inspection and will be requested for review in the

regional office by June 7, 2021, as identified above. The remaining documents should be

available to the team by the first day of the onsite inspection, June 21, 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

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.

P. Dietrich -2-

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. M. Holmberg. We understand that our regulatory

contact for this inspection is Mr. S. Gatter of your organization. If there are any questions about

the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9748 or

via e-mail at msh@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. 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 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation Week

The following information is requested by May 03, 2021, or sooner, to facilitate the

selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection week. The

inspection team will select specific items from the information requested below and

submit a list to your staff by May 14, 2021. We will request that certain items be made

available to the regional office prior to the inspection by June 7, 2021, and that the

remaining items selected from the lists be available for the NRC team review on the first

day of inspection. All requested information should identify the associated system and

cover the time frame from the receipt of information for the last MOD/50.59 inspection to

the present.

The required information identified below should be provided electronically via an

internet- based file service (e.g. Certrec or Sharefile) made accessible to the NRC team

members or provide files on compact disc (CD) with three copies of each CD submitted.

The preferred electronic file format is a searchable pdf file. If possible, the files should

be organized/indexed to facilitate this request which typically would include a brief

description of the document and the numerical heading associated with the request (i.e.,

where it can be found in the list of documents requested). If you have any questions

regarding this information, please contact the inspection team leader as soon as

possible.

1. List of all Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50.59 completed

evaluations involving: (a) calculations; (b) procedure revisions; (c) changes to the

facility (modifications); (d) non-routine operating configurations; or (e) departures in

methods of analyses. This list should include 50.59 evaluations for the following:

a. Changes that have been made under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59 that have

been updated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4) since the last MOD/50.59

inspection;

b. Modifications that are field work complete; and

c. Changes to calculations (or initiation of new calculations) that have been issued.

The list should contain the number and title of each document, a brief description

of the change, and the corresponding number and type of the affected document

(i.e., the modification or procedure to which the evaluation applies). The list
