This inspection will be performed in accordance with NRC Baseline Inspection Procedure 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 July 14, 2015. The second group is needed to support our in-office preparation activities. This set of documents, including the calculations associated with the Residual Heat Removal heat exchanger, should be available at the Regional Office no later than August 12, 2015. This information should be separated based on the item numbers identified on the enclosed list, especially if provided electronically (e.g., folder with I.1, I.2, 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 on-site to the inspector on August 24, 2015. 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. All requested documents are to be for the time period from the on-site 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. It is important that these documents be as complete as possible, in order to minimize the number of documents requested during the preparation week or during the on-site inspection. | |||
