-NOTIFICATION OF NRC BASELINE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION; INSPECTION REPORT 05000 254/20 19 00 1; 05000 265/20 19 00 1 Dear Mr. Hanson: On March 11, 201 9 , the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC)

will begin the Baseline Inservice Inspection Procedure 71111.08. This onsite inspection is scheduled to be performed March 11, 2019

, through March 22, 2019

. Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive both for the NRC inspector and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources, and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups.

The first group identifies information necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared. The second group identifies the information the inspector will need upon arrival at the site. 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.

We have discussed the schedule for inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Thomas Petersen, of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector

Mr. James Neurauter

at 63 0-829-9828 , or via e-mail at james.neurauter@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.

B. Hanson -2- 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."

A. Information for the

In-Office Preparation Week

The following information (electronic copy CD ROM if possible) is requested by February 18, 2019 , to facilitate

the selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection week. The inspector will select specific items from the information requested below and request a list of additional documents needed onsite to your staff. We request that the specific items selected from the lists be available and ready for review on the first day of inspection.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the inspector as soon as possible.

1. For the upcoming outage, a detailed schedule and description of:

a. Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE s) planned for Class 1 and 2 Systems

and containment, performed as part of your American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program (include edition

and addenda of Code committed to), and NDE

s planned for other systems performed as part of a Risk-Informed ISI Program, or other augmented inspection programs commitments

, as part of an industry initiative; and

b. Welding on Code Class 1, 2, or 3 components. For each weld examination, also include the weld identification number, description of weld (component name), category, class, type of exam and procedure number, and date of examination

. 2. A copy of the NDE procedures and welding procedures

used to perform the activities identified in A.1 (including NDE calibration and flaw characterization/sizing procedures and Welding Procedure Qualification Records). For ultrasonic examination procedures qualified in accordance with Appendix VIII, of Section XI

of the ASME Code, provide documentation supporting the procedure qualification (e.g., the Electric Power Research Institute

performance demonstration qualification summary sheets).
