PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL HEAT EXCHANGER/SINK PERFORMANCE
INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION; INSPECTION
REPORT 05000440/2022002
Dear Mr. Penfield:
On April 25, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the onsite portion
of the Triennial Heat Exchanger/Sink Performance Inspection at Perry Nuclear Power Plant.
This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC baseline Inspection
Procedure 71111.07.
The Triennial Heat Exchanger/Sink Performance Inspection focuses on service water cooled
heat exchangers, closed loop heat exchangers and the ultimate heat sink (UHS). The
inspection verifies that the selected service water cooled heat exchanger(s), closed loop heat
exchanger(s) and the UHS remain capable of performing their intended safety functions.
The inspection includes one week onsite. The inspection team will consist of two NRC
inspectors. The current inspection schedule is as follows:
Preparation week:
April 11-15, 2022
Onsite week:
April 25-29, 2022
In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive
inspection, a request for documents needed for the inspection is enclosed. The information
request has been divided into three groups:
The first group lists information necessary for the initial inspection scoping activities.
This information should be available to the lead inspector no later than February 14,
2022. The lead inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately
two to three risk significant heat exchangers by February 25, 2022.
January 10, 2022

-2-
The second group is needed to support the in-office preparation activities.
This set of documents, including the calculations associated with the selected heat
exchangers, should be available at the Regional Office no later than April 4, 2022.
This information should be separated for each selected component, especially if
provided electronically (e.g., folder with component name that includes calculations,
condition reports, maintenance history, etc.). During the in-office preparation
activities, the inspector may identify additional information needed to support the
inspection.
The last group includes the additional information above as well as plant specific
reference material. This information should be available to the inspector on
April 25, 2022. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or
questions developed during the inspection be provided to the inspector as the
documents are generated.
All requested documents are to be for the time period from the onsite inspection period back
to the documents that were provided in response to the previous Heat Sink Performance
Inspection. If no activities were accomplished in that time period, then the request applies to the
last applicable document in the previous time period. It is important that these documents be as
complete as possible, in order to minimize the number of documents requested during the
preparation week or during the onsite inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Jorge Corujo-Sandin. We understand that our licensing
contact for this inspection is George Dujanovic of your organization. If there are any questions
about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead
inspector at 630-829-9741 or via e-mail at jorge.corujo-sandin@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 (10 CFR) 2.390, Public
Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, 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 NRCs
