PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT

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 31500011. 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.

This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be made available for public inspection

and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document

Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, and Requests for

Notification of Inspection and Request for Information

Cooper Nuclear Station

NRC Inspection Report 05000298/2022004

INSERVICE INSPECTION DOCUMENT REQUEST

Inspection Dates: October 3 - 7, 2022

Inspector: Jim Drake

A. Information Requested for the In-Office Preparation Week

The following information should be sent to the Region IV office in hard copy or electronic

format (ims.certrec.com preferred), in care of Jim Drake, by September 26, 2022, to facilitate

the selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the inspection period. It has not

yet been determined if the inspection will be onsite or conducted remotely. The inspector

will select specific items from the information requested below and then request from your

staff additional documents needed during the inspection period (Section B of this enclosure).

We ask that the specific items selected from the lists be available and ready for review on

the first day of inspection. Please provide requested documentation electronically if

possible. If requested documents are large and only hard copy formats are available, please

inform the inspector(s), and provide subject documentation during the first day of the

inspection.

If you have any questions regarding this information request, please call the inspector as

soon as possible.

On October 3, 2022, a reactor inspector from the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC)

Region IV office will perform the baseline inservice inspection at Cooper, using NRC

Inspection Procedure 71111.08, "Inservice Inspection Activities. Experience has shown

that this inspection is a resource intensive inspection both for the NRC inspector and your

staff. The date of this inspection may change dependent on the outage schedule you

provide. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive

inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. These

documents have been divided into two groups. The first group (Section A of the enclosure)

identified information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure that the inspector is

adequately prepared. The second group (Section B of the enclosure) identifies the

information the inspector will need upon commencement of the inspection. It is important

that all these documents are up to date and complete to minimize the number of additional

documents requested during the preparation and/or the inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and

understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Brenda Kilpatrick of your

licensing organization. The tentative inspection schedule is as follows:

Preparation week: September 26, 2022

Inspection period: October 3-15, 2022

Our inspection dates are subject to change based on your updated schedule of outage

activities. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please

contact Jim Drake at (817) 200-1558. (email to: James.Drake@nrc.gov).

and/or planned this refueling outage.

5. If reactor vessel weld examinations required by the ASME Code are scheduled to

occur during the upcoming outage, provide a detailed description of the welds to be

examined and the extent of the planned examination. Please also provide reference

numbers for applicable procedures that will be used to conduct these examinations.
