SUBJECT:

CALLAWAY - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION 05000483/2003007

Dear Mr. Randolph:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),

Region IV staff, will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at your Callaway Plant in September of 2003. The inspection team will be comprised of a team of reactor inspectors from the NRC Region IV office and a contractor. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05, "Fire Protection," the NRCs baseline fire protection inspection procedure.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

• Information gathering visit - September 9 - 11, 2003

• Onsite inspection - September 22 - October 2, 2003 Members of the inspection team will visit the Callaway Plant from September 9 to 11, 2003, to gather information and documents needed to support the inspection, obtain unescorted access, and to become familiar with your fire protection program. The enclosure to this letter provides a list of the types of documents the team will want to review. After review the team leader will request that you transmit copies of some of the documents to the NRC, Region IV office for team use in preparation for the inspection. We would appreciate it if you could send this information so that it will arrive in our office in Arlington, Texas, no later than noon on September 15, 2003.

We request that during the onsite inspection week, you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations, or documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the fire protection program, including post-fire safe shutdown capability, be readily accessible to the team for their review. Of specific interest are those documents that establish that your fire protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable NRC and industry fire protection guidance. Also, appropriate personnel knowledgeable of: (1) those plant systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions from inside and outside the control room, (2) the electrical aspects of the post-fire safe shutdown analyses,

(3) reactor plant fire protection systems, and (4) the fire protection program and its implementation should be available to support the team at the site during the inspection.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions concerning this inspection or the inspection teams information or logistical needs, please contact Rebecca L. Nease at 817-860-8154.

Sincerely,

/RA/ RLN for Charles S. Marschall, Chief Engineering and Maintenance Branch Division of Reactor Safety Enclosure:
