August 23, 2021 Ms. Cheryl Regulatory Affairs Director Southern Nuclear Operating Co. Inc.

3535 Colonnade Parkway Birmingham, AL 35243 SUBJECT: UPDATED INSPECTION PLAN FOR EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 (Report 05000321/2021005 AND 05000366/2021005)

Dear Ms. Gayheart:

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2023, for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

Inspection procedure (IP) 71111.21N.03 is included in the inspection plan as a placeholder for your next Design Basis Assurance Inspection (Programs). The NRC is still determining the specific technical area to replace the previously performed power-operated valves programs inspection, IP 71111.21N.02. Once the inspection area has been determined, an inspection procedure will be issued publicly at least six months prior to the start of this inspection.

In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the NRC is adjusting inspection plans and schedules in order to safeguard the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while still effectively implementing the ROP. Each planned inspection is being carefully reviewed in order to determine if any portions of the inspection can be performed remotely, determine how best to perform on-site portions to minimize personnel health risks, and adjust inspection schedules if needed. This is done in accordance with guidance contained in the February 1, 2021 memo, Calendar Year 2021 Inspection Guidance During COVID-19 Telework Restrictions (ML21027A274). For inspections requiring extensive coordination with offsite organizations, such as evaluated emergency preparedness exercises, NRC guidance and frequently asked questions for security and emergency preparedness can be found here:

https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/covid-19/security-ep/. Similarly, the NRC has developed guidance if force-on-force inspections cannot be completed as scheduled due to an emergency, such as the COVID-19 PHE. These changes help ensure the health and safety of both NRC and licensee staff while maintaining the NRCs important safety and security mission during the COVID-19 PHE. The attached inspection plan is accurate on the date of issuance but remains subject to change based on approval of potential exemption requests or other changes needed due to changing conditions in the COVID-19 PHE. NRC staff will contact your appropriate regulatory affairs staff in order to coordinate inspection planning and scheduling. The NRC will also be performing baseline inspections of licensee cyber security programs. The specific schedule and procedure to be used for these inspections is being developed by the NRC staff. The staff expects to communicate the schedule for these inspections to each utility separately.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter 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).

Please contact me at 404-997-4415 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/
