Dear Mr. :

On October 31, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at your Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Statio This inspection will be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05Tprotection inspection procedur Changes were made to the Inspection Procedure 71111.05T, which now requires the fire protection inspection to review your actions to mitigate postulated events that could potentially cause loss of large areas of power reactor facilities due to explosions or fire This requirement was implemented by the issuance of the Interim Compensatory Measures Order EA-02-026, Section B.5.b, and the subsequent requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(hh)(2), which are collectively referred to as B.5.b requirement During this inspection, the B.5.b requirements review will be performed during the first onsite week of the inspection starting on November 2, 2016. The schedule for the onsite inspection activity is as follows: Information Gathering Visit: October 31 November 2, 2016;B.5.b Requirements: November 2 - 4, 2016; andFire Protection Inspection: November 14 18, and November 28 December 2, 2016.The purpose of the information gathering visit is: (1) to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection; (2) to become familiar with the Davis-Besse Fire Protection Programs, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown capabilities, and plant layout; and (3) to arrange administrative details, such as office space, availability of knowledgeable office personnel and to ensure unescorted site access privileges. Experience has shown that the baseline fire protection inspections are extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staf In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspectio These documents have been divided into four group B. Boles -2- The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspectio It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than October 7, 201 The second group also lists information and areas for discussion necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific fire protection focus areas for the inspection and to ensure that the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspectio It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit October 31, 201 The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspectio Please have this information available by the first day of the second onsite inspection week November 14, 201 The fourth group lists the information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspectio It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspectio 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.
