SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 1 (DCCNP-1) - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SECOND ROUND, REGARDING RE-ANALYSIS OF SMALL-BREAK LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT (TAC NO. MD5297)

Dear Mr. Rencheck:

In a letter dated March 29,2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML071000431), Indiana Michigan Power Company (/&M) provided a re-analysis of the small-break loss-of-coolant accident for DCCNP-1. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff reviewed the information transmitted by that letter and issued a Request for Additional Information (RAI) on August 10, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072050570). I&M responded by letter dated February 29, 2008 (ADAMS Accession No. ML080740053).

The NRC staff reviewed the February 29, 2008, response, and generated an additional question which was discussed during a telephone conference with your staff on October 9, 2008. As a result of that discussion and subsequent internal deliberation, the NRC staff developed the enclosed second-round RAI. The details of RAJ were mutually agreed upon during a telephone conversation with Michael Scarpello of your staff on October 23, 2008.

Please respond within 60 days of the date of this letter. Feel free to contact me if you need further clarification of this RAI.

Sincerely,
