December 11, 2002 Mr. William Kanda Vice President - Nuclear FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company P. O. Box 97, A200 Perry, OH 44081
SUBJECT:
PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC BIENNIAL EVALUATION OF CHANGES, TESTS, OR EXPERIMENTS AND PERMANENT PLANT MODIFICATION BASELINE INSPECTIONS
Dear Mr. Kanda:
On February 10, 2003, the NRC will begin biennial evaluation of changes, tests, or experiments and permanent plant modification baseline inspections at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
These on-site inspections will be performed February 10-14, 2003, in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures 71111.02 and 71111.17.
Experience has shown that the these baseline inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups. The first group, lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than January 27, 2003. The second group lists information necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared, and includes information which the team will need ready access to during the inspection. The third group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection. 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.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Melvin Holmberg. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Ken Russell of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9748 or via e-mail at msh@nrc.gov.
W. Kanda 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 Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
