NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION II
245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257
December 20, 2010

SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT - COMPONENT
DESIGN BASES INSPECTION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT
Dear Mr. Burton:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II staff will conduct a component design bases inspection at your Shearon Harris Nuclear
Power Plant reactor facility during the period of March 21 - April 22, 2011. The inspection team
will be led by Mr. Shakur Walker, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRC's Region II Office.
This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure,
Procedure 71111.21, Component Design Bases Inspection, issued December 6, 2010.
The inspection will evaluate the capability of risk significant / low margin components to function
as designed and to support proper system operation. The inspection will also include a review
of selected operator actions, operating experience, and modifications.
During a discussion on December 2, 2010, Mr. Walker confirmed, with Mr. John Doorhy of your
staff, arrangements for an information gathering site visit and the three-week onsite inspection.
The schedule is as follows:
- Information gathering visit: February 28 - March 4, 2011
- Week 1 of onsite inspection: March 21 - March 25, 2011
- Week 2 of onsite inspection: April 4 - April 8, 2011
- Week 3 of onsite inspection: April 18 - April 22, 2011
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to meet with members of your staff to identify
risk-significant components and operator actions. Information and documentation needed to
support the inspection will also be identified and gathered or requested. Mr. George MacDonald
or Mr. Walt Rogers, both Region II Senior Reactor Analysts, may accompany Mr. Walker during
the information gathering visit to review probabilistic risk assessment data and identify risk
significant components which will be examined during the inspection.
CPL 2
The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the information gathering visit. Please
contact Mr. Walker with any questions prior to preparing materials listed in the enclosure and
provide the referenced information to the Region II office by January 28, 2011, unless otherwise
noted. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying
only those documents required for the inspection preparation.
During the information gathering visit, the team leader will also discuss the following inspection
support administrative details: office space; site, plant and information system access; required
resources; and information exchange protocol.
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 Room
or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's 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).
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection
requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-
0011.
The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for
information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a
currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the
information requested or the inspection, please contact Mr. Walker at (404) 997-4639 or me at
(404) 997-4519.
Sincerely,
/RA/

INFORMATION REQUEST FOR SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
COMPONENT DESIGN BASES INSPECTION
Please provide the information electronically in .pdf files, Excel, or other searchable format on
CD/DVD-ROM. The CD/DVD-ROM should be indexed and possibly hyperlinked to facilitate
ease of use. Information in lists should contain enough information to be easily understood to
someone who has knowledge of pressurized water reactor technology.
1. From your most recent probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) excluding external events and
fires, please provide:
a. Two risk rankings of components from your site-specific probabilistic safety
analysis (PSA) - one sorted by Risk Achievement Worth (RAW), and the other
sorted by Birnbaum Importance.
b. A list of the top 500 cutsets.
2. From your most recent probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) including external events and
fires, please provide:
a. Two risk rankings of components from your site-specific probabilistic safety
analysis (PSA) - one sorted by Risk Achievement Worth (RAW), and the other
