SUBJECT:
DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL
FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION 50-275/03-02; 50-323/03-02
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 the Diablo Canyon
Power Plant in January of 2003. The inspection team will be comprised of reactor inspectors
from the NRC Region IV office, and the senior resident inspector assigned to your facility. 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 - January 6 - 8, 2003
1st Week of onsite inspection - January 13 - 17, 2003
2nd Week of onsite inspection - January 27 - 31, 2003
In advance of the onsite inspections, some members of the inspection team will visit the Diablo
Canyon Power Plant January 6 - 8, 2003, to obtain information and documentation needed to
support the inspection, become familiar with your fire protection program and, as necessary,
obtain plant-specific site-access training and badging for unescorted site access. A
nonexhaustive list of the types of documents the team will be interested in reviewing are listed
in the Enclosure. The team leader will determine, at that time, the documents necessary for
examination upon the team's arrival. During this information gathering visit, the team leader will
also discuss the following inspection support administrative details: office space, size and
location; arrangements for site access (including radiation protection training, security, safety,
and fitness-for-duty requirements); and the availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and
licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection.
We request that during the onsite inspection weeks, 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 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 Nease at 817-860-8154.
Sincerely,
/RA/
