SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 -

NOTIFICATION OF CONDUCT OF A FIRE PROTECTION TEAM INSPECTION

Dear Brad Berryman:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct a fire protection team inspection at your Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 starting in October 2023. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111, Attachment 21N.05, Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI),

dated June 12, 2019. The inspection team will be led by David Kern, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRC Region I Office.

The inspection will verify that plant structures, systems, and components, and/or administrative controls credited in the approved fire protection program can perform their licensing basis function.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

• Information Gathering Visit: Week of October 10, 2023

• Onsite Inspection: Weeks of October 30, 2023 and November 13, 2023 The purpose of the information gathering visit is to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection and to become familiar with the stations fire protection program, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities, and plant layout. During the information gathering visit, the team leader will select the specific samples to be reviewed during the onsite inspection weeks.

The enclosure lists the types of documents that will be needed prior to the information gathering visit. Please provide the referenced information to the Region I office by October 2, 2023.

Following sample selection, additional documents will be requested specific to those samples.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated.
