BYRON STATION - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR THE NRC
AGE-RELATED DEGRADATION INSPECTION: INSPECTION REPORT
05000454/2026011 AND 05000455/2026011
Dear Christopher Mudrick:
The purpose of this letter is to request information to support our scheduled age-related
degradation inspection beginning July 6, 2026, at Byron Station. This inspection will be
performed in accordance with NRC baseline inspection procedure 71111.21N.04
Age-Related Degradation.
An initial list of documents requested to support identification of structures, systems, and
components (SSCs) that will be reviewed during the inspection is provided 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 is 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.
This letter contains voluntary information collections that are subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approved these information collections (approval number 3150-0011). The burden to the public
for these information collections is estimated to average 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> per response. Send

Enclosure 1 - Requested Information to Support Age-Related Degradation Sample
Selection
The documents and information requested below should generally be made electronically
available to the inspection team for the teams use both on-site and off-site. At the end of the
inspection, the documents in the teams possession should 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 the
listed documents. In addition, your plant-specific document titles may vary from the document
titles listed below.
The following information is requested by June 5, 2026, or sooner, to facilitate the sample
selections.
Documents requested, if applicable:

List of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1) SSCs from the past 5 years
2.
List of maintenance rule functional failures (including preventable) from the past
5 years
3.
Most recent evaluation of maintenance effectiveness required per
4.
Maintenance rule scoping and performance criteria document
5.
List of preventative maintenance deferrals and preventative maintenance change
requests in the last 5 years
6.
