SUBJECT: RIVER BEND STATION - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE
PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION 05000458/2004007
Dear Mr.Hinnenkamp:
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 River Bend
Station in January of 2004. The inspection team will be comprised 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 - January 13 - 15, 2004
- Onsite inspection - January 26 - 30 and February 9 - 13, 2004
Members of the inspection team will visit the River Bend Station on January 13-15, 2004, 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 reviewing, 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
January 20, 2004.
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
Entergy Operations, Inc. -2-
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 Neil OKeefe at 817-860-8269.
Sincerely,
