SUBJECT:
BRAIDWOOD STATION UNIT 2 - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR AN
NRC POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL
INSPECTION REPORT 05000457/2026011
Dear Christopher Mudrick:
On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-Approval
Site Inspection for License Renewal Phase 1 at Braidwood Station Unit 2. 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.
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 these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of requests
during the preparation and on-site portions of the inspection. Please provide this information
electronically to the lead inspector as far as you are able. This 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 key
information and activities to be reviewed during the inspection. This information should be
provided to the inspector by March 23, 2026.
The second group includes the additional information required for the inspector to review the
selected activities. This information should be available to the inspector April 6, 2026. 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 lead inspector for this license renewal inspection is Eric Magnuson. We understand that our
primary contact for this inspection is Breanne Towers of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the
lead inspector at 630-829-9798 or via email at eric.magnuson@nrc.gov.
