MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC
BASELINE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: INSPECTION
REPORT 05000263/2025002
Dear Shawn Hafen:
On April 21, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the Baseline
Inservice Inspection Procedure 71111.08. This onsite inspection is scheduled to be performed
April 21, 2025, through May 2, 2025.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and
your staff. To minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive
inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
These documents have been divided into two groups.
The first group identifies information necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately
prepared. The second group identifies the information the inspector will need upon arrival at the
site. It is important that all these documents are up-to-date, and complete, to minimize the
number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of
the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for inspection activities with your staff and understand that our
regulatory contact for this inspection will be Carol Seipp of your organization. If there are any
questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector
Eucherius Rosario at (630) 829-9577, or via email at Eucherius.Rosario@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.
