Dear Mr. Crane: | |||
On April 9, 2007, the NRC will begin a biennial baseline Component Design Bases Inspection | |||
(CDBI) at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. A team of six inspectors will perform this 3-week | |||
inspection. This inspection will be performed in accordance with revised NRC Baseline | |||

SUBJECT: DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, INFORMATION
REQUEST FOR AN NRC BIENNIAL BASELINE COMPONENT DESIGN BASES
INSPECTION (CDBI) 05000237/2007006(DRS); 05000249/2007006(DRS)
Dear Mr. Crane:
On April 9, 2007, the NRC will begin a biennial baseline Component Design Bases Inspection
(CDBI) at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station. A team of six inspectors will perform this 3-week
inspection. This inspection will be performed in accordance with revised NRC Baseline
Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.21 and replaces the biennial Safety System Design and
Performance Capability inspection.
The CDBI inspection focuses on components which have high risk and low design margins.
The components to be reviewed during this baseline inspection will be identified during an
in-office preparation week prior to the first week of on-site inspection. In addition, a number of
risk significant operator actions and operating experience issues, associated with the
component samples, will also be selected for review.
The inspection will include three weeks of on-site inspection. The inspection team will consist
of six NRC inspectors, of which, five will focus on engineering and one on operations. The
current inspection schedule is as follows:
- On-site weeks: April 9, 2007, April 23, 2007, and May 7, 2007
The team will be preparing for the inspection mainly during the week of April 2, 2007, as
discussed in the attached enclosure. A Region III Senior Reactor Analyst may accompany the
inspection team during the week of April 9, 2007, to review probabilistic risk assessment data
and assist in identifying risk significant components, which will be reviewed during the
inspection.
C. Crane -2-
Experience with previous baseline design inspections of similar depth and length has shown
that these types of inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors
and the licensee staff. 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 on-site portions of
the inspection. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the
lead inspector. The information request has been divided into three groups:
- The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping activities.
This information should be available to the lead inspector no later than March 8, 2007.
By March 16, 2007, the lead inspector will communicate the initial selected set of 30
high risk components;
- The second group of documents requested are those items needed to support our
in-office preparation activities. This set of documents, including the calculations
associated with the initial selected components, should be available at the Regional
Office no later than March 28, 2007. During the in-office preparation activities, the team
may identify additional information needed to support the inspection; and
- The last group includes the additional information identified above, as well as plant
specific reference material. This information should be available to the team on
April 9, 2007. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions
developed during the inspection be provided to the lead inspector as the documents are
generated.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. John Jacobson. In order to facilitate the inspection,
we request that a contact individual be assigned to each inspector to ensure information
requests, questions, and concerns are addressed in a timely manner. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested in the Enclosure, please contact the
lead inspector at (630) 829-9736 or via e-mail at jmj3@nrc.gov
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and
its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
