SUBJECT:

INFORMATION REQUEST TO SUPPORT UPCOMING PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION (PI&R) INSPECTION AT DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION This letter is to request information to support our scheduled problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection beginning August 2, 2021, at Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.

This inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection Procedure 71152.

Experience has shown that these inspections can be extremely resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the utility staff. In order to minimize the impact that the inspection has on the site and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a list of documents required for the inspection.

The documents requested are copies of condition reports and lists of information necessary to ensure the inspection team is adequately prepared for the inspection. The information requested prior to the inspection may be provided in electronic format by either CD, DVD, or a file-sharing website and should be provided for NRC review by July 21, 2021.

Mr. Roy Elliott, the Lead Inspector, will contact your staff to determine the best method of providing the requested information.

If there are any questions about the material requested, or the inspection in general, please contact Mr. Roy Elliott at 630-829-9588 or Roy.Elliott@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.

T. Brown 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, its enclosure, and your response (if any) 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.

Sincerely,

/RA/

The lead inspector may also request to interview approximately 20 to 30 personnel, through various means to possibly include focus-groups of 4 to 8 individuals, to seek information about the plants SCWE. The lead inspector will randomly choose, from your furnished organization charts, people he would like to interview and provide those names and groupings to you and ask you to set up times and locations. For this, the inspector will need access to organizations charts showing position titles and names. The inspector will provide his selections at least one day prior to a suggested interview date to allow alternate selectees as needed (due to leave or being on a backshift, etc.). The inspectors may request your assistance in setting up times and locations in such a manner as to maintain appropriate social distancing, e.g., conducting interviews from across a conference room table or in a spacious room such as a training room.

Each interview session will last about 30 to 60 minutes; the inspector will ask you to schedule the interview sessions at least 90 minutes apart.

The inspector will ask you to refrain from debriefing personnel after the interviews; your briefing of personnel prior to the sessions is acceptable but not required. Also, other team members may be talking to personnel, at random, throughout the plant to solicit their perceptions of the sites SCWE and CAP effectiveness.
