SUBJECT:
DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL PERMANENT MODIFICATIONS AND 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) BASELINE INSPECTION 05000331/2013008
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On September 3, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a MOD/50.59 baseline inspection at the Duane Arnold Energy Center. 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 3 - 6, 2013, and September 16 - 20, 2013.
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 19, 2013. The inspection team will review this information and, by August 5, 2013, will request specific items that should be provided for review in the regional office by August 19, 2013.
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 August 19, 2013, as identified above. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the onsite inspection, September 3, 2013.
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 3, 2013. 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.
R. Anderson The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Robert Murrell of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
