INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION AT BYRON STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 | |||
==Dear Mr. Hanson:== | |||
This letter is to request information to support our scheduled Problem Identification and Resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning August 5, 2019, at your Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. | |||
This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71152. | |||
Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection. | |||
The documents requested are copies of condition reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information requested prior to the inspection may be provided in either CD-ROM/DVD, a web-based document repository, or hard copy format and should be ready for NRC review by July 22, 2019. Mr. Robert Ruiz, the lead inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the requested information. | |||
If there are any questions about the material requested or the inspection in general, please contact Mr. Robert Ruiz at 630-829-9732 or Robert.Ruiz@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. | |||
B. Hanson 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, its enclosure, and your response (if any) 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 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. | |||
