SUBJECT: WATERFORD 3 - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION
BASELINE INSPECTION 50-382/03-11
Dear Mr. Venable:
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 Waterford 3 in August,
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 - July 29-31, 2003
- First week of onsite inspection - August 11-15, 2003
- Second week of onsite inspection - August 25-29, 2003
Members of the inspection team will visit Waterford 3 from July 29 to July 31, 2003, to obtain
information and documents needed to support the inspection, and to familiarize themselves 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 to
arrive in our Arlington, Texas offer no later than noon on August 4, 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,
Entergy Operations, Inc. -2-
(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 Joseph L. Taylor at 817-276-6559.
Sincerely,
/RA/
