SINK PERFORMANCE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION; | |||
INSPECTION REPORT 05000461/2017003 | |||
Dear Mr. Hanson: | |||
On July 17, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the onsite portion | |||
of the Triennial Heat Sink Performance Inspection at your Clinton Power Station. This inspection | |||
will be performed in accordance with NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.07. | |||
In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive | |||
inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents 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 lead inspector no later than June 5, 2017. By June | |||
9, 2017, the inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately 2-3 risk | |||
significant heat exchangers. | |||
The second group is needed to support our 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 July 3, 2017. 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 onsite to the inspector on | |||
July 17, 2017. 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. | |||

INSPECTION REPORT 05000461/2017003
Dear Mr. Hanson:
On July 17, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the onsite portion
of the Triennial Heat Sink Performance Inspection at your Clinton Power Station. This inspection
will be performed in accordance with NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.07.
In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive
inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents 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 lead inspector no later than June 5, 2017. By June
9, 2017, the inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately 2-3 risk
significant heat exchangers.
The second group is needed to support our 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 July 3, 2017. 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 onsite to the inspector on
July 17, 2017. 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 Lionel Rodriguez. We understand that our licensing
contact for this inspection is Kenneth Pointer of your organization. If there are any questions
about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead
inspector at 630-829-9609 or via e-mail at Lionel.Rodriguez@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to
