Site Vice President

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant

Northern States Power Company, Minnesota

SUBJECT: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT NOTIFICATION OF

INSPECTION AND INFORMATION REQUEST - BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Schimmel:

On March 11, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the baseline

Inservice Inspection Procedure 71111.08. This on-site inspection is scheduled to be performed

March 11, 2013, through March 15, 2013.

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 on-site 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 on-site 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 Ms. S. OConnor, of your organization. If there are

any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector

Mr. Tom Bilik at 630-829-9744 or via e-mail at tom.bilik@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

M. Schimmel -2-

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs document system

(ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the

Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

A. Information for the in-office preparation week

The following information (electronic copy CD ROM if possible) is requested by March 4,

please call the inspector as soon as possible.

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

a. non-destructive examinations (NDE) planned for Class 1 and 2 Systems and

containment, performed as part of your ASME Code Inservice Inspection (ISI)

Program (include edition and addenda of Code committed to), and NDE

examinations planned for other systems performed as part of a Risk-Informed

(RI) ISI Program, or other augmented inspection programs commitments, as

part of an industry initiative. For each weld examination, include the weld

identification number, description of weld (component name), category, class,

type of exam and procedure number, and date of examination; and

b. welding on Code Class 1, 2, or 3 components.

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 EPRI performance demonstration qualification summary

sheets).

3. A copy of ASME Section XI, Code Relief Requests applicable to the examinations

identified in Item A.1.

4. A copy of the 10-year ISI program showing those required exams scheduled to be

performed this outage, and those which have been completed.

5. A list identifying NDE reports (ultrasonic, radiography, magnetic particle, or dye

penetrant), which have identified relevant indications on Code Class 1 and 2

Systems since the beginning of the last refueling outage.

6. List with short description of the welds in Code Class 1 and 2 Systems, which

have been fabricated due to component repair/replacement activities since the

beginning of the last refueling outage and identify the system, weld number, and

reference applicable documentation (e.g., NIS-2 forms with definitions of system

and component acronyms).

7. If reactor vessel weld examinations required by the ASME Code are scheduled to

occur during the inspection period, provide a detailed description of the welds to

be examined, and the extent of the planned examination.

8. List with description of ISI related issues such as piping degradation or damage

(e.g., cracks, wall thinning, wear, MIC) or errors identified in piping examinations

that have been entered into your corrective action system since the beginning of

the last refueling outage. Also, include a list of corrective action records

associated with foreign material introduced/identified in the reactor vessel or

reactor coolant system since the beginning of the last refueling outage.

9. Copy of any 10 CFR Part 21 reports applicable to your structures systems or

components within the scope of Section XI of the ASME Code that have been

identified since the beginning of the last refueling outage.

B. On-site information to be Provided to the Inspector on the First Day of the
