SUBJECT:
R.E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, LLC - REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION FOR A BIENNIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND
RESOLUTION INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000244/2022010
Dear Mr. Rhoades:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region I staff will conduct a biennial problem identification and resolution inspection at
R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC. Niklas Floyd, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRCs
Region I office, will lead the inspection team. The inspection will be conducted in accordance
with Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, dated December 14,
2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21281A181).
The inspection will assess the effectiveness of your problem identification and resolution (PI&R)
program in identifying, prioritizing, evaluating, and correcting problems, including the use of
operating experience, assessments, and audits. This inspection will also assess your program
for raising concerns under the established safety conscious work environment.
The onsite inspection is scheduled for the weeks of July 25 and August 8, 2022.
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 information needed for 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. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead
inspector by July 7, 2022.
If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure,
please contact the lead inspector at 610-337-5282 or via e-mail at Niklas.Floyd@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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections,
Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

The following information is requested by July 7, 2022, or sooner, to facilitate inspection
preparation. The requested information is for the period from March 5, 2020 through July 25,
2022 (Present), which covers the timeframe since the previous problem identification and
resolution (PI&R) inspection. The inspection procedure also specifies a five-year review for a
subset of selected program, system, or component issues. The selected samples for this
five-year review will be provided at a future date.
A bagman trip is currently scheduled for July 11 and 12, 2022. The purpose of this trip is for the
team lead to familiarize their self with the site organization including meetings with department
managers and overview of the corrective action program and to finalize remaining administrative
arrangements for the inspection.
Feel free to contact the lead inspector as soon as possible if you have any questions regarding
this information request. Please provide the information electronically in pdf files, Excel, or
other searchable formats, preferably on an internet database system (e.g., OneDrive) or
portable electronic media (e.g., CD-ROM, DVD, etc.). The files should contain descriptive
names, be indexed, and hyperlinked to facilitate ease of use. Information in lists should
contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has knowledge of light
water reactor technology.
