SUBJECT: DONALD. C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - REQUEST

FOR INFORMATION FOR AN NRC TRIENNIAL PILOT BASELINE COMPONENT

DESIGN BASES INSPECTION (INSPECTION REPORT 05000315/2015008;

05000316/2015008)

Dear Mr. Weber:

On November 2, 2015, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the team

portion of the triennial pilot baseline Component Design Bases Inspection (CDBI) at Donald C.

Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. This inspection will be performed in accordance with

NRC Baseline Inspection Procedure 71111.21T. A team of six inspectors will perform this

2-week onsite pilot inspection.

The CDBI focuses on the design, maintenance, and operation of risk-significant components

associated with one or more accident scenario or systems. The components to be reviewed

during this baseline inspection will be identified during the in-office preparation weeks that occur

prior to the first onsite inspection week. In addition, operating experience issues, associated

with the component samples, will also be selected for review. The inspection team may request

scenarios to be performed on the simulator. This request would require support from your

simulator staff to validate scenarios, simulator time, and a crew to perform the actions, which

would most likely occur during the second onsite week. The team will work closely with your

staff early on during the inspection process to ensure this activity can be accomplished with

minimal impact.

This pilot inspection will include two weeks onsite. The inspection team will consist of six NRC

inspectors, of which five will focus on engineering/maintenance and one on operations. The

current inspection schedule is as follows:

• Preparatory weeks: October 19 -23, 2015; and

October 26 - 30, 2015.

• On-site inspection weeks: November 2 - 6, 2015; and

November 16 - 20, 2015.

L. Weber -2-

Experience with previous baseline design inspections of similar depth and length has shown

that this type of inspection is extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the

licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site, and to ensure a productive

inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for information needed for the

inspection.

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. Insofar as possible, this information should be provided electronically to the lead

inspector. The information request has been divided into three groups:

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

This information should be provided to the lead inspector no later than September 14, 2015.

By September 30, 2015, the lead inspector will communicate the initial selected set of

approximately 10 components.

• The second group of documents requested is those items needed to support our in-office

preparation activities. This set of documents, including the calculations associated with the

initial selected components, should be provided to the lead inspector at the Regional Office

no later than October 14, 2015. During the in-office preparation activities, the team 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 to the team onsite on November 2, 2015. It is

also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions developed during the

inspection be provided to the lead inspector as the documents are generated.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. Néstor Féliz-Adorno. We understand that our

licensing contact for this inspection is Mr. John Nimtz 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) 829-9739, or via e-mail at Nestor.Feliz-Adorno@nrc.gov.

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.
