                TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2515/177 INSPECTION AND A REQUEST FOR
                INFORMATION 05000346/2012005 (DRS)
Dear Mr. Allen:
On October 15, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the on-site
portion of the Gas Accumulation Management in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat
Removal, and Containment Spray Systems Temporary Instruction at your Davis-Besse Nuclear
Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC Temporary
Instruction (TI) 2515/177.
In order to minimize the inspections impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection,
we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. The documents have
been divided into three groups.
*    The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping activities.
    This information should be available to the inspector no later than August 20, 2012.
    By August 31, 2012, the inspector will communicate the initial selected samples.
*    The second group is needed to support our in-office preparation activities. This set of
    documents should be available at the Regional Office no later than September 28, 2012.
    This information should be separated by information request number, especially if provided
    electronically (e.g., folder with the information request number). During the in-office
    preparation activities, the inspectors may identify additional information needed to support
    the inspection. The lead inspector will provide a list of the additional information needed
    during the week of October 1, 2012.
*    The last group includes the additional information above as well as plant specific reference
    material. This information should be available to the inspectors on October 15, 2012. 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.
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 on-site inspection.
If no activities were accomplished associated with a specific request, then provide a statement
indicating that the request is not applicable.

The inspector for this inspection is Mr. Larry J. Jones Jr. Please send the information
electronically to the following e-mail address larry.jones@nrc.gov. A hard-copy with the
required information is also an acceptable option.
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 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 Systems (PARS) component of NRCs document

TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2515/177 INSPECTION AND A REQUEST FOR

INFORMATION 05000346/2012005 (DRS)

Dear Mr. Allen:

On October 15, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the on-site

portion of the Gas Accumulation Management in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat

Removal, and Containment Spray Systems Temporary Instruction at your Davis-Besse Nuclear

Power Station. This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC Temporary

Instruction (TI) 2515/177.

In order to minimize the inspections impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection,

we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. The documents have

been divided into three groups.

  • The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping activities.

This information should be available to the inspector no later than August 20, 2012.

By August 31, 2012, the inspector will communicate the initial selected samples.

  • The second group is needed to support our in-office preparation activities. This set of

documents should be available at the Regional Office no later than September 28, 2012.

This information should be separated by information request number, especially if provided

electronically (e.g., folder with the information request number). During the in-office

preparation activities, the inspectors may identify additional information needed to support

the inspection. The lead inspector will provide a list of the additional information needed

during the week of October 1, 2012.

  • The last group includes the additional information above as well as plant specific reference

material. This information should be available to the inspectors on October 15, 2012. 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.

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 on-site inspection.

If no activities were accomplished associated with a specific request, then provide a statement

indicating that the request is not applicable.

Mr. Allen -2-

The inspector for this inspection is Mr. Larry J. Jones Jr. Please send the information

electronically to the following e-mail address larry.jones@nrc.gov. A hard-copy with the

required information is also an acceptable option.

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 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 Systems (PARS) component of NRCs document

system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
