SUBJECT: DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 & 2 - REQUEST FOR
INFORMATION FOR NRC COMMERCIAL GRADE DEDICATION INSPECTION;
INSPECTION REPORT 05000315/2023011; 05000316/2023011
Dear Shane Lies:
On June 12, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a commercial
grade dedication (CGD) inspection at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant. This inspection
will be performed in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.21N.03, Commercial
Grade Dedication.
The inspection will evaluate the implementation of Donald C. Cooks process for dedicating
commercial-grade items, as required in applicable portions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power
Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to ensure reasonable assurance is provided that these
items will perform their intended safety function. Additionally, the inspection will evaluate
implementation of Donald C. Cooks procurement process for safety-related components, as
required in Appendix B.
The inspection may include an onsite information gathering visit by the lead inspector. The
inspection will include two weeks onsite and will consist of three NRC inspectors (including the
lead inspector) along with two observers. The current inspection schedule is as follows:
Potential Information Gathering Visit: May 8-11, 2023
Preparation week: May 29-June 2, 2023
Onsite weeks: June 12-16, 2023, and June 26-30, 2023
The purpose of the information gathering visit would be to meet with knowledgeable individuals
of your staff to become familiar with the process for dedicating commercial-grade items and the
process for procuring safety-related components at Donald C. Cook. This visit would also allow
the lead inspector to meet with procurement engineering and other site individuals responsible
for the inspection to ensure a common understanding of expectations for the inspection. This
visit may include a tour of onsite commercial-grade item dedication facilities, receipt inspection
facilities, storage facilities, and installed plant components associated with potential inspection
samples. During the visit (if performed), the lead inspector will also review the information
provided in the initial information request and may request additional information needed to
support the inspection.
Q. Lies 2
Experience with previous baseline inspections of similar depth and length has shown that this
type of inspection is 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 parties, we have enclosed a request for information needed for 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. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead
inspector. The information request has been divided into four groups:
The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping activities. This
information should be provided to the lead inspector no later than May 8, 2023. The lead
inspector will communicate the initial selected set of samples no later than May 22, 2023.
The second group of documents requested are those items needed to support our in-office
preparation activities. This set of documents should be provided to the lead inspector no
later than May 26, 2023. During the in-office preparation activities, the team may identify
additional information needed to support the inspection.
The third group includes the additional information above, a schedule of plant activities
associated with the inspection during the onsite period, and any additional requests
resulting from the potential information gathering visit. This information should be available
to the team onsite on June 12, 2023.
The fourth group includes supporting information to be provided throughout the onsite
inspection. Specifically, corrective action documents and answers to questions developed
during the inspection are requested to be provided as the documents are generated.
In addition, the enclosure includes information and requests addressing inspection logistics.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Edison Fernandez. We understand that our licensing
contact for this inspection is Steve Mitchell of your organization. If there are any questions about
the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead inspector at
630-829-9754 or via e-mail at Edison.Fernandez@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.
