REQUEST FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL 10 CFR 50.59 (EVALUATION OF

CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS) BASELINE INSPECTION;

INSPECTION REPORT 05000254/2019010; 05000265/2019010

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On January 14, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Title 10 of

the Code of Federal Regulation, Part 50.59, (Evaluation of Changes, Tests and Experiments),

baseline inspection at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2. This inspection

will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.17T. The

onsite portions of the inspection will take place on January 14-18, 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 compact disc and delivered to the regional office no later than December 3, 2018.

The inspection team will review this information and, by December 10, 2018 will

request specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by

December 31, 2018.

• 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 December 31, 2018, as identified above. The remaining documents

should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, January 14, 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.

inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9824 or via

e-mail at Atif.Shaikh@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

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in

accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections,

Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
