(MOD/50.59) BASELINE
INSPECTION
05000 456/201 1008; 05000 457/201 1008 Dear Mr. Pacilio
: On September 12, 2011
, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59 baseline inspection at the Braidwood Station, Units
1 and 2.  This inspection
wi ll be performed in accordance
with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure
(IP) 71111.17.  The onsite portion of the inspection will take place on September 12
- 16 and September 26 - 30, 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 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 July 15, 2011.  The inspection team will review this information by July 29, 2011 , and will request
specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by August 26, 2011
.  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 this group, i.e., Item (1), will be requested for review in the regiona
l office prior to the inspection
by August 26, 2011, as identified above.
  The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, September 12, 2011.  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 onsite inspection, September 12, 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 onsite portions of the inspection.
M. Pacilio
    -2- The lead inspector for this inspection is Dariusz Szwarc.  We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Ja mes Gerrity 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. 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), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading

INSPECTION

05000 456/201 1008; 05000 457/201 1008 Dear Mr. Pacilio

On September 12, 2011

, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59 baseline inspection at the Braidwood Station, Units

1 and 2. This inspection

wi ll be performed in accordance

with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure

(IP) 71111.17. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place on September 12

- 16 and September 26 - 30, 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 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 July 15, 2011. The inspection team will review this information by July 29, 2011 , and will request

specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by August 26, 2011

. 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 this group, i.e., Item (1), will be requested for review in the regiona

l office prior to the inspection

by August 26, 2011, as identified above.
