SUBJECT:
D.C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT 1 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NRC REACTOR VESSEL HEAD REPLACEMENT INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Nazar:
On September 5, 2006, the NRC will begin the modification portion of the reactor vessel head replacement inspection (NRC Inspection Procedure 71007) for the D. C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 at the Buchanan, Michigan office. This inspection will also utilize NRC Inspection Procedures IP 7111.02, IP 71111.17, and IP 71111.23. The on-site inspection is scheduled to take place on September 5 through September 8, 2006, September 25 through September 29, 2006, and October 10 through October 13, 2006.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive, both for the NRC inspector and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These documents have been divided into two groups. The first group identifies information necessary to ensure that the inspector is adequately prepared. The lead inspector has scheduled a trip to the Buchanan, Michigan office on August 14 through August 17, 2006, to review the first group of information, request documents for review in the Regional Office prior to the on-site inspection, and to request documents to be available at the Buchanan, Michigan office on September 5, 2006, the first day of the on-site inspection. The second group identifies additional information the inspector will need upon arrival at the Buchanan, Michigan offices on September 5, 2006. 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.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. R. Meister, of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector Mr. J. Neurauter at (630) 829-9828.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
M. Nazar Room, or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
