SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a fire protection team inspection at Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs)in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
REACTOR SAFETY
71111.21N.05 - Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI) Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) Credited for Fire Prevention, Detection, Suppression, or Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Review (IP Section 03.01)
The inspectors verified that components and/or systems will function as required to support the credited functions stated for each sample. Additional inspection considerations are located in the fire hazards analysis (FHA) or safe shutdown analysis (SSA).
- (1) Fire Zone 45 (Unit 1 and Unit 2 Engineered Safety Systems and MCC Rooms and Mezzanine)
- (2) Unit 1 Auxiliary Feed Water (AFW) System
- (3) Most limiting Safe Shutdown Water Suppression System Fire Zone 97 & 98
Fire Protection Program Administrative Controls (IP Section 03.02) (1 Sample)
The inspectors verified that the selected control or process is implemented in accordance with the licensees current licensing basis. If applicable, ensure that the licensees Fire Protection Program (FPP) contains adequate procedures to implement the selected administrative control. Verify that the selected administrative control meets the requirements of all committed industry standards.
- (1) Combustible Control Program (CCP)
Fire Protection Program Changes/Modifications (IP Section 03.03) (1 Sample)
The inspectors verified the following:
a.
Changes to the approved FPP do not constitute an adverse effect on the ability to safely shutdown b.
The adequacy of the design modification, if applicable c.
Assumptions and performance capability stated in the SSA have not been degraded through changes or modifications d.
The FPP documents, such as the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, f ire protection report, FHA, and SSA were updated consistent with the FPP or design change e.
Post-fire SSD operating procedures, such as abnormal operating procedures, affected by the modification were updated
- (1) Engineering Change (EC) 53510; 1-FMO-212, Rewire the Motor Operated Valve (MOV) to meet NFPA 805 Transition Project Requirements
INSPECTION RESULTS
No findings were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
- On July 31, 2025, the inspectors presented the fire protection team inspection results to Gary Zimmerman and other members of the licensee staff.
