SUBJECT:

NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Christian:

On June 11 - 15, 2007, the NRC will perform the baseline Public Radiation Safety Inspection at the North Anna Power Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71121.01, 71121.03, 71122.01, 71122.03, and Radiation Safety Sections of 711551 and 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 scheduled a two-day preinspection visit with your staff for April 30 - May 2, 2007. The material requested will be reviewed and collected at that time.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Jay Liberstein of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Ruben Hamilton at (404) 562-4672.

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

reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
