Mr. J. A. Stall, Senior Vice President Nuclear and Chief Nuclear Officer P. O. Box 14000 Juno Beach, FL 33408-0420
SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Stall:
During the period of January 28 - February 1, 2008, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant. The inspection will focus on the Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71122.01 and 71122.03. The inspectors also will review activities associated with Radiation Protection Instrumentation and Protective Equipment as outlined in IP 71121.03.
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 conduct 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 three day pre-inspection visit with your staff for the January 07-09, 2008 period. The requested material 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 Ms. Stavroula Mihalakea of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, George B. Kuzo at (404) 562-4658.
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
