SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT ONGOING PRE-OPERATIONAL TESTING OF AN INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION INSPECTION AT THE PERMANENTLY SHUTDOWN LA CROSSE BOILING WATER REACTOR SITE

Dear Mr. Brasel:

This letter is to request information to support our Pre-Operational Testing of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) inspection that is currently ongoing at the permanently shutdown La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor site. The inspection is being performed in accordance with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Procedure 60854.1.

The inspection consists of four exclusive elements: (1) an offsite review of calculations used to support heavy loads movements throughout the site with onsite inspection of the structures; (2) an onsite review of your 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.212 Report; (3) an offsite review of procedures, evaluations, and programs to demonstrate site readiness to load spent fuel; and 4) onsite observations of dry run operations.

Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection. Please provide this information to the NRC Region III office no later than July 26, 2011 or upon its site approval.

The documents requested are necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information may be provided either electronically or in hard copy.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail Mr. Jeremy Tapp at 630-829-9862 or Jeremy.Tapp@nrc.gov or Mr. Lionel Rodriguez at 630-829-9609 or Lionel.Rodriguez@nrc.gov.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

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.

Sincerely,

/RA/ By Wayne J. Slawinski For/
