BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000255/2019011 | |||
Dear Arnone: | |||
On October 28, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a | |||
50.59 Baseline Inspection at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed | |||
in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite portion of | |||
the inspection will take place during the week of October 28, 2019. | |||
Experience has shown that these baseline 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 | |||
documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups. | |||
* The first group of information is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is | |||
adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be made available via | |||
CD and delivered to the regional office no later than September 16, 2019. The inspection | |||
team will review this information and, by September 30, 2019, will request specific items | |||
that should be provided for review in the regional office by October 14, 2019. | |||
* The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will | |||
review, or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents contained within | |||
Group II (i.e., Item (1)), will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the | |||
inspection by October 14, 2019, as identified above. The remaining documents should | |||
be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, October 28, 2019. | |||
* The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues | |||
identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to | |||
the lead inspector as the information is generated during 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. | |||
C. Arnone -2- | |||
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Dariusz Szwarc. We understand that our | |||
regulatory contact for this inspection is Ms. Barb Dotson of your organization. If there are any | |||
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at | |||
630-829-9803 or via e-mail at Dariusz.Szwarc@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. | |||
This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at | |||

Dear Arnone:
On October 28, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a
50.59 Baseline Inspection at the Palisades Nuclear Plant. This inspection will be performed
in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The onsite portion of

Experience has shown that these baseline 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
documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups.
- The first group of information is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is
adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be made available via

be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, October 28, 2019.
- The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues

the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspection. It is important
that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number
