SAINT LUCIE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Stall:

During the period of September 8 - 12, 2008, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the St Lucie Nuclear Station. The inspection will focus on the Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71121.03, 71122.01, 71122.03; and will include the Radiation Safety sections of IP 71151. The inspectors also will complete the annual review of radiation protection activities associated with access controls to radiologically significant areas as outlined in IP 71121.01.

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 conference call with your staff on August 13, 2008, to discuss and answer questions regarding the requested material.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Cecchett, 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 NRC=s ARules 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).
