SUBJECT: BYRON STATION UNIT 1 REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC

POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL INSPECTION

REPORT 05000454/2023010

Dear Mr. Rhoades:

On March 6, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-Approval

Site Inspection for License Renewal at Byron Unit 1 Station. This inspection will be performed

in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003. This inspection will focus on outage

related activities to verify license conditions added as part of your renewed license and a

sample of license renewal commitments have been implemented.

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 on-site portions of

the inspection. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead

inspector. The information request has been divided into two groups:

The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping and in-office

preparation activities. During the in-office preparation activities, the inspector will identify as

much as possible the information and activities to be reviewed during the inspection. This

information should be provided to the inspector by January 23, 2023.

The second group includes the additional information required for the inspector to review the

selected activities. This information should be available to the inspector onsite March 6,

2023. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions developed

during the inspection be provided to the inspector as the documents are generated.

The inspector for this license renewal inspection is Matt Domke. We understand that our

primary contact for this inspection is Ms. Cox of your organization. If there are any questions

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

inspector at 630-829-9562 or via e-mail at Matthew.Domke@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 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at
