SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 - NOTIFICATION OF AN
NRC FIRE PROTECTION TEAM INSPECTION (FPTI) (NRC INSPECTION

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)
Dear Mr. Snider:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),
Region II staff will conduct a fire protection team inspection at the Oconee Nuclear Station,
Units 1, 2 and 3, in March and April of 2022. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Jonathan
Montgomery, a Senior Reactor Inspector from the NRC Region II Office. The inspection team
will be comprised of four inspectors from the NRC Region II office. The inspection will be
conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111, Attachment 21N.05, Fire Protection
Team Inspection, the NRCs baseline fire protection inspection procedure.
On January 12, 2022, during a phone call between Samuel Adams of your staff and
Mr. Montgomery, our respective staffs confirmed arrangements for a two-week onsite
inspection. The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
Week 1 of onsite inspection: March 21-25, 2022
Week 2 of onsite inspection: April 4-8, 2022
The team lead and senior reactor analyst will work with your staff prior to the start of the
inspection to select the scope of structures, systems, and components for evaluation; identify
additional documents needed to support the inspection; and obtain unescorted access.
The enclosure to this letter provides an initial list of the documents the team will need for their
review. We request that your staff transmit copies of the documents listed in the enclosure to
the NRC Region II office for team use in preparation for the inspection. Please send this
information so that it will arrive in the NRC Region II office by the dates listed in the enclosure.
S. Snider

During the weeks leading up to the inspection, the team leader will discuss with your staff the
following inspection support administrative details: (1) office space size and location; (2)
specific documents requested to be made available to the team in their office spaces; (3)
arrangements for reactor site access (including radiation protection training, security, safety,
and fitness for duty requirements); and (4) the availability of knowledgeable plant staff and
licensing organization personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection.
We request that during the on-site inspection weeks you ensure that copies of analyses,
evaluations, or documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the station fire
protection program, including the success path necessary to achieve and maintain the nuclear
safety performance criteria, be readily accessible to the team for their review. Of specific
interest for the fire protection portion of the inspection are those documents which establish that
your fire protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable
NRC and industry fire protection guidance (i.e., fire protection compliance assessment
documents). Also, personnel should be available at the site during the inspection who are
knowledgeable regarding those plant systems required to achieve and maintain safe and stable
plant conditions, including the electrical aspects of the nuclear safety capability assessment,
reactor plant fire protection systems and features, and the station fire protection program and its
implementation.
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 under 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.
This letter and its enclosure 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.
Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions
concerning this inspection, or the inspection teams information or logistical needs, please
contact Jonathan Montgomery, the team lead inspector, in the Region II office at
(404) 997-4880 or jonathan.montgomery@nrc.gov, or call me at (404) 997-4506.

Fire Protection Team Inspection Document Request
Enclosure
The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection team
with the general information necessary to select appropriate samples to develop a site-specific
inspection plan. The first RFIs requested information is specified below in items A.1 thru A.22,
and is requested to be provided by February 17, 2022, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of
the specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection weeks.
Electronic format is the preferred format, except where specifically noted. If electronic files are
made available via a secure document management service, then the remote document access
must allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents in the NRCs regional office.
If a secure document management service is utilized, it is recommended that a separate folder
be used corresponding to each item listed below. Documents should be identified by both
document number and noun name. Electronic media on compact disc or paper records (hard
copy) are also acceptable.
The inspection team will examine the returned documentation from the first RFI and
identify/select specific samples to provide a more focused follow-up request to develop the
second RFI. The inspection team will submit the specific selected samples to your staff by
February 25, 2022. We request that the additional information provided from the second RFI be
made available by March 11, 2022.
This document request is based on typical documents that a generic plant might have. As such,
this generic document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have all
the listed documents. It is recognized that some documents listed below may not be available
for your plant. In addition, the document titles listed below are based on typical industry
document names; your plant-specific document titles may vary.
