SUBJECT: BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR
AN NRC TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59
(MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION 05000456/2011008; 05000457/2011008
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
will 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 regional 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.
