SUBJECT: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - INFORMATION
REQUEST FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL 10 CFR 50.59 (EVALUATION OF
CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS) BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Domingos:
On November 14, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a
10 CFR 50.59, (Evaluation of Changes, Tests and Experiments), baseline inspection at the
Monticello Nuclear Generating Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the
NRC baseline Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.17T. The onsite dates for this inspection will be
November 14 - 18, 2022.
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 two 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 methods
no later than September 6, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by
September 23, 2022, will request a second group of information that should be provided for
review in the regional office by October 24, 2022.
If there are any questions about the material requested or the inspection in general, please
contact Ms. E. Sanchez Santiago at 630-829-9520 or Elba.SanchezSantiago@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.

In accordance with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 2.390 of the NRC's
"Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for
public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records
(PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC
Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

The following information is requested by September 6, 2022, or sooner, to facilitate the

inspection team will select specific items from the information requested below and
submit a list to your staff by September 23, 2022. We will request that certain items be
made available to the inspection team by October 24, 2022. All requested information
should identify the associated system and cover the time frame from the receipt of
information for the last 50.59 inspection to the present.
The required information identified below should be provided on compact disc (CD) or

provided, please provide three copies of each CD submitted (i.e., one for each
inspector). The preferred file format is a searchable pdf file. The CDs should be
indexed and hyper-linked to facilitate ease of use, if possible. If you have any questions
regarding this information, please call the inspection team leader as soon as possible.
(1) List of all 10 CFR 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 should NOT include any evaluations in which prior NRC
approval was sought and obtained.
(2) A list of all 10 CFR 50.59 changes that have been screened out as not requiring
a full evaluation involving: (a) calculations; (b) procedure revisions; (c) changes
to the facility (modifications); (d) non-routine operating configurations; or
(e) departures in methods of analyses.
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).
(3) A list of any modifications, procedure revisions, or Updated Final Safety Analysis
Report (UFSAR) changes where it was determined that 10 CFR 50.59 did not
apply.
(4) A list of calculation changes that have been issued for use.
Enclosure
(5) A list of corrective action documents (open and closed) that address
10 CFR 50.59 issues, concerns, or processes. These documents should also
include the associated corrective action documents and the 50.59 change
implementation.

the affected system and corresponding documentation (if applicable), and should
be sorted in order of significance.

set point changes, equivalency evaluations or suitability analyses, commercial
grade dedications, post-modification testing, 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations and
screenings, and UFSAR updates.
