SUBJECT: POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION OF NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 05000266/2016008; 05000301/2016008
Dear Mr. Coffey:
On September 19, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Triennial Fire Protection Baseline Inspection at your Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. This inspection will be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05XTbaseline National Fire Protection Association 805 Fire Protection Inspection Procedure. Inspection Procedure 71111.05XT 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 fires. This requirement was implemented by 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 (CFR), Part 50.54(hh)(2), which are collectively referred to as B.5.b requirements. During this inspection, the B.5.b requirements review will be performed during the first onsite week of the inspection starting on September 21, 2016. The schedule for the onsite inspection activity is as follows: Information Gathering Visit: September 19 21, 2016; B.5.b Requirements: September 21 23, 2016; and Fire Protection Inspection: October 3 7 and October 17 21, 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 Point Beach Fire Protection Program, 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 staff. 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 inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups. The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than September 2, 2016. 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 inspection. It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit September 19, 2016. The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the second onsite inspection week October 3, 2016. The fourth group lists the information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during 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. The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. George Hausman. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Ms. Kim Locke of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@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. of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public i Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
