SUBJECT: DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC

TRIENNIAL HEAT SINK PERFORMANCE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR

INFORMATION INSPECTION REPORT 05000 346/2011003(DRS)

Dear Mr. Allen:

On June 27, 2011, the NRC will begin the onsite portion of the Triennial Heat Sink

Performance Inspection at your Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant. This inspection will be

performed in accordance with NRC baseline inspection procedure (IP) 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 May 18, 2011. By

May 25, 2011, the inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately 2-3

risk significant heat exchangers.

  • 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 selected heat exchangers, should be available at the Regional Office no later than

June 15, 2011. 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 June 27, 2011. 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.

B. Allen -2-

The lead inspector for this inspection is Gerard ODwyer. If there are questions about the

material requested, or the inspection, please call Gerard ODwyer at (630) 829-9624. Please

send the information to the following e-mail address Gerard.ODwyer@nrc.gov. A hard-copy

with the required information is also an acceptable option.

It is important that these documents are as complete as possible, in order to minimize the

number of documents requested during the preparation week or during the onsite inspection.

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.

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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document

Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system

(ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html

(the Public Electronic Reading Room).
