REPORT 05000266/2019010; 05000301/2019010
Dear Mr. Craven:
On September 16, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71003 Section 02.02.d. (Phase IV). This
onsite inspection is scheduled to be performed September 16, 2019, thru September 20, 2019.
The purpose of the inspection is to review the implementation of The Aging Management
Program (AMP) elements during the Period of Extended Operation. The inspection team will
select for review a sample of the sites AMPs.
This Request for Information is separated into three Sections (A, B and C). Section A
information will be used to facilitate the AMP sample selections. The team leader will make
AMP selections and inform the licensee. Based on these selections, the licensee will provide
the additional information requested under Section B. This information will be used as part of
the inspection preparation and implementation. Requests under Section C should be available
to the inspectors during the on-site week of inspection. See the table below for specific dates:
Requested Action: Expected Date:
Licensee provides Section A Information July 29, 2019
Team Leader communicates selection to the licensee August 9, 2019
Licensee provides Section B Information August 23, 2019
Licensee provides Section C Information September 16, 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.
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 portion 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 Brenda Scherwinski of your organization. If there
are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead
inspector John V. Bozga at 630-829-9613.
