SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2

NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE

INSPECTION 05000315/2006002(DRS); 05000316/2006002(DRS)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

On January 23, 2006, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a triennial fire

protection baseline inspection at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. This

inspection will be performed in accordance with the NRC baseline Inspection

Procedure 71111.05T.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

Information gathering visit - January 11 - 13, 2006

On-site inspection activity - January 23 - 27, 2006, and February 6 - 10, 2006

The purpose of the information gathering visit is: (1) to obtain information and documentation

needed to support the inspection; (2) to become familiar with the Donald C. Cook Nuclear

Power Plants fire protection program, fire protection features, post-fire safe shutdown

capabilities and plant layout; and (3) to arrange administrative details such as office space,

availability of knowledgeable office personnel and to ensure unescorted site access privileges.

Experience has shown that the baseline fire protection inspections are extremely resource

intensive both for the NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the

inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both organizations, we

have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have

been divided into four groups. The first group lists information necessary to aid the inspection

team in choosing specific focus areas for the inspection. It is requested that this information be

provided to the lead inspector via mail or electronically no later than December 16, 2005. The

second group lists information necessary to ensure that the inspection team is adequately

prepared for the inspection. This information should be available on-site no later than

January 11, 2006. The third group of requested documents are those items that the team will

review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the

first day of the on-site portion of the inspection (January 23, 2006). The fourth group lists

information necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues identified as a result of the

inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the

information is generated during the inspection. It is important that all of these documents are

up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested

during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our

regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Rick Jervey of your organization. If there are any

questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at

(630) 829-9743 or via e-mail at gmh1@nrc.gov.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public

Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's

document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
