January 30, 2007 Mr. L. William Pearce Vice President FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company Perry Nuclear Power Plant 10 Center Road, A290 Perry, OH 44081

SUBJECT:

PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF NRC INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Pearce:

On April 9, 2007, the NRC will begin the baseline inservice inspection (NRC Procedure 71111.08) at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. This on-site inspection is scheduled to be performed April 9-12, 2007.

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 second group identifies the information the inspector will need upon arrival at the site. 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. C. Wirtz of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the inspector Mr. M. Holmberg at (630) 829-9748.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 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 Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's

W. Pearce 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).

Sincerely,

/RA/
