SUBJECT: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST

FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59

(MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION 05000266/2015010; 05000301/2015010

Dear Mr. McCartney:

On August 10, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59

baseline inspection at the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. This inspection will be

performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.17T. The

onsite portion of the inspection will take place on August 10 -14, 2015, and August 24-28, 2015.

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 June 30, 2015. The inspection team will review this

information and, by July 14, 2015, will request specific items that should be provided for review

in the regional office by July 27, 2015.

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

July 27, 2015, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first

day of the on-site inspection, August 10, 2015.

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. Jorge Corujo-Sandín. We understand that our

regulatory contact for this inspection is Ms. Kim Locke of your organization. If there are any

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

(630) 829-9741, or via e-mail at Jorge.Corujo-Sandin@nrc.gov.
