DRESDEN GENERATING STATION - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR

THE NRC AGE-RELATED DEGRADATION INSPECTION: INSPECTION

REPORT 05000237/2024010 and 05000249/2024010

Dear David P. Rhoades:

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 Dresden

Generating Station, Units 2 and 3, beginning June 10, 2024. The inspection will be conducted in

accordance with IP 71111.21N.04, dated December 15, 2023.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

• Information gathering visit - week of April 1, 2024 (Tenatative)

• On-site inspection - weeks of June 10, 2024, and June 24, 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 is listed in enclosure 1.

For SSCs that the inspection team plans to review, an initial list of the documents the team

plans to review during the conduct of the inspection are listed in enclosure 2. 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.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Edison Fernandez. We understand that our regulatory

contact for this inspection is Tara Noah of your organization. If there are any questions about

the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at

630-829-9754 or via email at edison.fernandez@nrc.gov.

Enclosure 1 - Requested Information to Support Age-Related Degradation Sample

Selection

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 April 8, 2024, or sooner, to facilitate the

sample selections.
