DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC FIRE PROTECTION TEAM INSPECTION REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Gebbie,

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region III staff will conduct a Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI) at your Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 beginning January 10, 2022. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with IP 71111.21N.05, Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI), dated June 12, 2019.

The inspection will verify that plant Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) and/or administrative controls credited in the approved Fire Protection Program (FPP) can perform their licensing basis function.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

Preparation week (R-III office): January 3, 2022

Week 1 of onsite inspection: January 10-14, 2022

Week 2 of onsite inspection: January 24-28, 2022 Experience has shown that the baseline FPTIs 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 three groups.

The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspection and to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than December 20, 2021.

The second 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 first onsite/remote inspection week January 10, 2022.

November 5, 2021

J. Gebbie The third 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. A. Shaikh. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. S. Mitchell of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9824 or via e-mail at Atif.Shaikh@nrc.gov.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely, Atif Shaikh, Senior Reactor Inspector Engineering Branch 3 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 50-315; 50-316 License Nos. DPR-58; DPR-74
