SUBJECT:
SEABROOK STATION - NOTIFICATION OF CONDUCT OF A TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION
Dear Mr. Walsh:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at your Seabrook Station beginning June 23, 2014. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Dan Orr from the NRC Region 1 Office, and composed of Region 1 personnel. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with IP 71111.05T, the NRC's baseline fire protection inspection procedure.
The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
Information Gathering Visit: Week of June 9, 2014 On-site Inspection: Weeks of June 23 and July 7, 2014 The purposes of the information gathering visit are to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection, to become familiar with the station fire protection programs, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities, and plant layout, and, to obtain plant specific site access training and badging for unescorted site access.
An initial list of documents the team will review during the conduct of the inspection are listed in the Enclosure. The team leader will contact you with any additional specific document requests prior to the information gathering visit.
Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions concerning this inspection, or the inspection team's information request or logistical needs, please contact Mr. John Richmond, Team Leader at (610) 337-5048, or via e-mail at dan.orr@nrc.gov.
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, under 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.
K. Walsh 2 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC Rules and Practices, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically 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.hmtl (the Public Electronic Reading Room)

Electronic format on compact disc (CD) or digital versatile disc (DVD) is the preferred media, except where specifically noted. If electronic media is made available via an internet based remote document management system, then the remote document access must allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents in the NRC's regional office. Paper records (hard copy) are of course always acceptable. At the end of the inspection, the documents in the team's possession will not be retained.
This document request is based on typical documents and records that most nuclear power plants retain. As such, this document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have all of the listed documents. It is recognized that some documents listed below may not be available for your plant.
