UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BLVD.

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA 19406-2713 December 1, 2016 Mr. Bryan C. Hanson Senior Vice President, Exelon Generation Company, LLC President and Chief Nuclear Officer, Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION NOTIFICATION OF CONDUCT OF A TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in March 2017. The inspection team will be composed of personnel from the Region I Office and led by Mr. Eugene DiPaolo. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05T, the NRC's baseline fire protection inspection procedure.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

  • Information Gathering Visit March 7 - 9, 2017
  • On-Site Inspection Weeks of March 20, 2017 and April 3, 2017 The purpose for the information gathering visit is 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, plant layout, and mitigating strategies to address Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(hh)(2); and obtain plant specific site access training and badging for unescorted access.

An initial list of the documents that the team will review during the conduct of the inspection are listed in Enclosures 1 and 2. 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. Eugene DiPaolo, Team Leader at (610) 337-6959, or via e-mail at eugene.dipaolo@nrc.gov.

B. Hanson 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules and Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRCs Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.hmtl (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

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 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 that a generic plant might have. As such, this generic 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. In addition, the document titles listed below are based on typical industry document names; your plant specific document titles may vary.
