POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTICE OF INSPECTION AND
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE NRC AGE-RELATED
DEGRADATION INSPECTION: INSPECTION REPORT 05000266/2024010
AND 05000301/2024010
Dear Michael Durbin:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
staff will conduct IP 71111.21N.04, Age-Related Degradation baseline inspection at Point
Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, in April 2024. The inspection team will be led by Thomas
Hartman from the NRC Region 3 Office. The team will be composed of personnel from the
NRC Region 3 Office. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with IP 71111.21N.04.
The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
Information gathering visit - week of March 4, 2024
On-site inspection - weeks of April 29, 2024, and May 13, 2024
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to become familiar with the station
maintenance, surveillance, testing, inspection, and condition monitoring programs, become
familiar with plant layout, support identification of structures, systems, and components (SSCs)
that will be reviewed during the inspection, and, as necessary, obtain plant-specific site access
training and badging for unescorted site access. An initial list of documents that the team will
review during the information gathering visit are listed in enclosure 1, section III.A.
During the information gathering visit, the team will also discuss the following inspection support
administrative details: office space size and location; specific documents requested to be made
available to the team in their office spaces; arrangements for reactor site access (including
radiation protection training, security, or safety); and the availability of knowledgeable plant staff
and licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection.
For SSCs that the inspection will review, an initial list of the documents the team will review
during the conduct of the inspection are listed in enclosure 1, section III.B. The team leader will
contact you with identified SSCs. Also, personnel should be available at the site during the
inspection who are knowledgeable regarding maintenance, surveillance, testing, inspection, and
condition monitoring programs.

LOGISTICS
Email the following inspection logistics to the lead inspector by April 15, 2024, or sooner:
1.
Entrance meeting time and location;
2.
Room number/name and location of the room to be used by the inspection team
while onsite;

III. INFORMATION REQUEST
Contact the lead inspector as soon as possible if you have any questions regarding this
information request. Provide the information electronically in PDF files, Excel, or other
searchable formats, preferably via an electronic sharing service (CERTREC, ShareFile, Box,
etc.). Specific Excel formats for various enclosure items may be requested to assist in
inspection sample selection. If you do not have access to any of these services or similar,
we can provide you access to Box, which can be used to upload/download and share

A. Information Requested to Support Information Gathering Visit
The documents and information requested below should generally be made available to the
inspection team for the teams use both on-site and off-site during the information gathering
visit. Electronic format is the preferred media. If electronic media is made available via an
internet based remote document management system, then the remote document access
should allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents in the NRCs regional
office. Electronic media on compact disc or paper records (hard copy) are acceptable. At the
end of the inspection, the documents in the teams possession will not be retained.
This document request is based on typical documents that a generic plant might have. As
such, this document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have
all of the listed documents. In addition, your plant-specific document titles may vary from the
document titles listed below.
The following information is requested by February 26, 2024, or sooner, to facilitate the
sample selections.
