SUBJECT: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION
OF NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION REQUEST
FOR INFORMATION 05000315/2016009; 05000316/2016009
Dear Mr. Gebbie:
On August 1, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a triennial fire
protection baseline inspection at your Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2.
This inspection will be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05XT, the
NRCs baseline National Fire Protection Association 805 Fire Protection Inspection Procedure.
Inspection Procedure 71111.05XT requires the fire protection inspection to review your
actions to mitigate postulated events that could potentially cause loss of large areas of
power reactor facilities due to explosions or fires. This requirement was implemented by
the issuance of the Interim Compensatory Measures Order EA-02-026, Section B.5.b and
the subsequent requirements of the Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(hh)(2),
which are collectively referred to as B.5.b requirements. During this inspection, the B.5.b
requirements review will be performed during the first onsite week of the inspection starting
on August 3, 2016.
The schedule for the onsite inspection activity is as follows:
Information Gathering Visit: August 1 - 3, 2016;
B.5.b Requirements: August 3 - 5, 2016; and
Fire Protection Inspection: August 15 - 19 and August 29 - September 2, 2016.
The purpose of the information gathering visit is: (1) to obtain information and documentation
needed to support the inspection; (2) to become familiar with the Donald C. Cook Nuclear
Power Plants Fire Protection Program, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown
capabilities, and plant layout; and (3) to arrange administrative details, such as office space,
availability of knowledgeable office personnel, and to ensure unescorted site access privileges.

Experience has shown that the baseline fire protection inspections are extremely resource
intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the
inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations,
we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents
have been divided into four groups.
The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing
specific focus areas for the inspection. It is requested that this information be
provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than July 15, 2016.
The second group also lists information and areas for discussion necessary to aid
the inspection team in choosing specific fire protection focus areas for the inspection
and to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection.
It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit
(August 1, 2016).
The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the team will
review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information
available by the first day of the second onsite inspection week (August 15, 2016).
The fourth group lists the information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking
issues identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be
provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspection.
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 onsite portions of
the inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Dariusz Szwarc. We understand that our regulatory
contact for this inspection is Mr. Mr. Richard A. Wynegar of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
630-829-9803 or via e-mail at Dariusz.Szwarc@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, 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.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections,
Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter,
its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in
J. Gebbie -3-
