SUBJECT:

H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT 2, NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Walt:

On April 16-20, 2007, the NRC will perform the baseline Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection at the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant Unit 2 (NRC Inspection Procedures 71121.01, 71121.02, and the radiation safety portions of 60855.1). 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 on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this 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 onsite portions of the inspection. The lead inspector has determined that because of the recent public radiation safety cornerstone inspection at the plant in January 2007, a preinspection visit is unwarranted and the requested documents can be transmitted by mailing a compact disk.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Garrett Sanders of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Heather J. Gepford, at (404) 562-4659.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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

CP&L 2 (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/

Sincerely,
