SUBJECT: R.E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

FOR A BIENNIAL PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION

INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000244/202 4010

Dear David 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. Elise Eve, a Senior Project Engineer 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 October 31, 2023

(ADAMS Accession No. ML23214A284).

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 15 and July 29, 2024.

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 June 28, 2024.

If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure,

please contact the lead inspector at ( 610) 337-5 266 or via email at elise.eve@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.
