OF INSPECTION (INSPECTION
REPORT 05000416/2011004)
AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Douet: On June 27,2011, the NRC will begin the on-site portion of the Gas Accumulation
Management
in Emergency
Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment
Spray Systems Temporary
Instruction
at your Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. These inspections
will be performed
in accordance
with NRC Temporary'
Instruction (TI) 2515/177.
Experience
has shown that this inspection
is resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors
and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources
and to ensure a productive
inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents
needed for this inspection.
The documents
have been divided into two groups. * The first group iists information
necessary
for our initial inspection
scoping and in-office
preparation
activities.
This information
should be separated
by information
request number, especially
if provided electronically (e.g., folder with the information
request number). This information
should be available
to the inspector
no later than June 20, 2011. Upon review of these documents, the inspectors
will select additional
documentation
for review upon arrival. By June 23, 2011, the inspector
will communicate
the initial selected samples. * The second group of documents
requested
is needed to support our onsite inspection
activities.
This set of documents
shouid be avaiiabie
to the inspector
on june 27, 20;;. it is also requested
that corrective
action documents
and responses
to questions
developed
during the inspection
be provided to the inspector
as the documents
are generated.
We have discussed
the schedule for these inspection
activities
with your staff and understand
that our regulatory
contact for this inspection
will be Mike Larson of your licensing
organization.
If there are any questions
about this inspection
or the material requested, please contact the inspector, Wayne Sifre, at 817-860-8193
or by email at
