SUBJECT:
DUANE ARNOLD NUCLEAR POWER STATION, INFORMATION REQUESTFOR AN NRC BIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Van Middlesworth:
On September 24, 2007, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59)baseline inspection at the Duane Arnold Nuclear Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures IP 71111.02 and IP 71111.17. The on-site portion of the inspection will take place on September 24 through September 28, 2007 and October 15 through October 19, 2007.Experience has shown that these baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, bothfor 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 is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be available to the Regional Office no later than July 26, 2007. The inspection team will review this information and, by August 7, 2007, will request specific items that should be available for review by September 10, 2007. The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspecti on. Certain documents in Group II. (1) will be requested forreview in the Regional Office the week prior to the inspection. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, September 24, 2007. 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 on-site portions of the inspection.The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Robert Daley. We understand that our regulatorycontact for this inspection is Bob Murrell (319) 851-7900 of your organization. If there are anyquestions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9749 or via e-mail at RCD@nrc.gov.
