NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION III
2443 WARRENVILLE RD. SUITE 210
LISLE, IL 60532-4352
August 24, 2016
Mr. David Hamilton
Site Vice President
FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company
Perry Nuclear Power Plant
P. O. Box 97, 10 Center Road, A-PY-A290
Perry, OH 44081-0097
SUBJECT: PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL
HEAT SINK PERFORMANCE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION;
INSPECTION REPORT 05000440/2016004
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
On October 3, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin the onsite portion
of the Triennial Heat Sink Performance Inspection at your Perry Nuclear Power Plant. 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 August 31, 2016. By
September 7, 2016, the inspector will communicate the initial selected set of approximately
2 - 3 risk-significant heat exchangers.
The second group is 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 September 17, 2016. 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 October 3, 2016.
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 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. 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 onsite inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Michael A. Jones. We understand that our licensing
contact for this inspection is David Lockwood of your organization. If there are any questions
about the inspection or the material requested in the enclosure, please contact the lead
inspector at 630-829-9745, or via e-mail at Michael.Jones@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.
