SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NRC TRIENNIAL EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS, AND EXPERIMENTS (50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000282/2020012; 05000306/2020012

Dear Mr. Sharp:

On June 22, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a 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 71111.17T. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place on June 22-26, 2020.

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 May 8, 2020. The inspection team will review this information and, by May 22, 2020, will request specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by June 5, 2020.

• 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 May 22, 2020, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, June 22, 2020.

• 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. The lead inspector for this inspection is Ms. Jasmine Gilliam. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Ms. Carrie Seipp of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9831 or via e-mail at Jasmine.Gilliam@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 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/
