SUBJECT: DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION

REPORT 05000275/2018007 AND 05000323/2018007) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Welsch:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region IV staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in October and November 2018. The inspection team will be comprised of

five reactor inspectors from the NRC Region IV office. The inspection will be conducted in

accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05XT, "Fire Protection - NFPA 805 (Triennial),"

the NRC's baseline fire protection inspection procedure.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

Information gathering visit: September 26 - 28, 2018

On-site inspection: October 15 - 19, 2018 October 29 - November 2, 2018

The purpose of the information gathering visit is to obtain information and documentation

needed to support the inspection and to become familiar with the fire protection program, fire protection features, safe shutdown success paths, plant layout, and mitigating strategies to address Section B.5.b of NRC Order EA-02-026, "Order for Interim Safeguards and Security

Compensatory Measures," dated February 25, 2002, and 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2).

The team leader will participate in the information gathering visit to select the fire areas for evaluation, identify additional documents needed to support the inspection, obtain unescorted access, and meet with the key personnel who will support the inspection. The fire area

selection will require a walkdown of candidate fire areas with key personnel from your staff. The

enclosures to this letter provide an initial list of the documents the team will need for their review. During the information gathering visit, the team leader will also discuss the following

inspection support administrative details: (1) office space size and location; (2) specific documents requested to be made available to the team in their office spaces; (3) arrangements for reactor site access (including radiation protection training, security, safety, and fitness for

J. Welsch 2 duty requirements); and (4) the availability of knowledgeable plant staff and licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection.

We request that during the on-site inspection weeks you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations, or documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the station fire

protection program, including the success path necessary to achieve and maintain the nuclear

safety performance criteria, be readily accessible to the team for their review. Of specific

interest for the fire protection portion of the inspection are those documents which establish that

your fire protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements, and conforms to applicable NRC and industry fire protection guidance (i.e., fire protection compliance assessment documents). For the 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2) portion of the inspection, those documents

implementing your mitigating strategies and demonstrating the management of your commitments for the strategies are of specific interest. Also, personnel should be available at

the site during the inspection who are knowledgeable regarding those plant systems required to achieve and maintain safe and stable plant conditions, including the electrical aspects of the nuclear safety capability assessment, reactor plant fire protection systems and features, and the station fire protection program and its implementation.

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 Offi

ce of Management and Budget under 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. This letter and its enclosure 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, Requests for Withholding.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions concerning this inspection or the inspection team's information or logistical needs, please

contact Sam Graves, the team lead inspector, in the Region IV office at (817) 200-1102 or

samuel.graves@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/

James F. Drake, Acting Chief Engineering Branch 2

Division of Reactor Safety

Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323

License Nos. DPR-80 and DPR-82

Enclosures: 1. Triennial Fire Protection Inspection Document Request

2. Mitigating Strategies Document Request

Enclosure 1 Triennial Fire Protection Inspection Document Request

The documents and information requested below should generally be made available to the inspection team during the inspection. Electronic format is the preferred format, except where specifically noted. If electronic files are made available via the internet-based inspection

management system (IMS), then the remote document access must allow inspectors to

download, save, and print the documents in the NRC's regional office.

If IMS is utilized, it is recommended that a separate folder be used corresponding to each item listed below and that multiple documents within each folder be combined into a ZIP file before uploading. Electronic files on compact disc or paper records (hard copy) are also acceptable.

To allow review before the on-site information gathering visit, the following documents should be

made available to the team in the regional office no later than September 4, 2018:

Post-fire nuclear safety capability, systems, and separation analysis (request A.1)

Fire hazards analysis and/or NFPA 805 design basis document (request A.2)

Fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) summary document or full PRA document (request A.3)

NFPA 805 transition report, developed in accordance with NEI 04-02 (request A.4)

Fire risk evaluations (i.e., NFPA 805, Section 2.4.3) (request A.5)

Plant change evaluations (i.e., NFPA 805, Section 2.4.4) (request A.6)

Analysis that demonstrates nuclear safe

ty performance criteria can be achieved and maintained for those areas that require recovery actions (request A.7)

Based on a review of the above seven items, the team leader should identify a preliminary list of

fire areas being considered for inspection prior to the on-site information gathering visit. During the information gathering visit, or shortly thereafter, the fire areas selected for inspection will be

determined.

This document request is based on typical documents that a generic plant might have. As such,

this generic document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have all of the listed documents. It is recognized that some documents listed below may not be available for your plant. In addition, the document titles listed below are based on typical

industry document names; your plant-specific document titles may vary.

To allow review before the on-site inspection weeks, the following documents should be made

available to the team in the regional office no later than October 1, 2018.
