July 6, 2004 Mr. M. Nazar Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Nuclear Generation Group American Electric Power Company 500 Circle Drive Buchanan, MI 49107
SUBJECT:
DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 ANNOUNCEMENT OF BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Nazar:
On September 13, 2004, the NRC will begin a Modifications and 10 CFR 50.59 (MOD/50.59) baseline inspection at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedures IP 71111.02 and IP 71111.17.
Experience has shown that these baseline inspections can be resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into three groups.
The first group is necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. This information should be available to the Regional Office by no later than August 23, 2004. The inspection team will review this information and, by August 30, 2004, will request specific items that should be available for review when the team arrives on site. The second group of requested documents contains additional items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Certain documents in Group II(1) will be requested for review in the Regional Office the week prior to the inspection, i.e., in the office by September 7, 2004. The remaining documents should be available by the first day of the on-site inspection, September 13, 2004. 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 on-site portions of the inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Andrew Dunlop. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Rich Meister and the technical contact is Dean Baker of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (630) 829-9726 or via e-mail at AXD7@nrc.gov.
M. Nazar In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 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).

Information Requested for In-Office Preparation Week The following information is requested by August 23, 2004, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection week. The team will select specific items from the information requested below and submit a list to your staff by August 30, 2004. We may also request that certain items be made available to the regional office during the week prior to the inspection, i.e., by September 7, 2004. We request that the remaining items selected from the lists be available and ready for review on the first day of inspection. All requested information should cover the time frame from the last Permanent Modification inspection exit (September 2002) to the present. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the lead inspector as soon as possible. All information should be sent electronically, if at all possible to AXD7@nrc.gov.
(1)
List of "permanent plant modifications" to risk significant systems, structures or components. (For the purpose of this inspection, permanent plant modifications include permanent: plant changes, design changes, set point changes, design information transmittals, engineering evaluations, equivalency evaluations, suitability analyses, modifications, commercial grade dedications and any other plant specific documents used to affect changes to plant systems, structures or components.)
The list should be sorted by the number of each document and the type of document. The list should include the title, the revision (or date), the affected system, and, if at all possible, the risk significance of the modification. In addition to the list, please provide a brief (one paragraph) description of each modification and a list of associated calculations and affected procedures.
