SUBJECT: PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS

1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE TRIENNIAL PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATIONS AND EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, OR EXPERIMENTS (MOD/50.59)

BASELINE INSPECTION

05000282/2011012(DRS); 05000306/2011012(DRS) Dear Mr. Schimmel: On October 31, 2011 , the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59

baseline inspection at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units

1 and 2. This inspection

will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure

(IP) 71111.17. The

on-sit e portion of the inspection will take place on October 31 - November 4, 2011, and November 14 - 18, 2011. 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 th

e 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 compact disc and delivered to the regional office no later than September

26, 2011. The inspection team will review this information

and, by September 30, 2011, will request specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by October 14, 2011. The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the inspection team will

review, or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents contained within this group, i.e., Item (1), will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by October 14, 2011, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the on

-site inspection, October 31, 2011.

M. Schimmel -2- The third group

lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection.

The remaining documents in group three should be

available by the first day of the on

-site inspection, October 31, 2011. 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 on-site portions of the

inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is

Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our

regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr.

Sam J. DiPasquale of your organization.

If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the

lead inspector at

(630) 829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@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.

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 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS),
