FARLEY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Johnson:
During the periods of October 20 - 24, 2008, and November 3 - 7, 2008, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the Farley Nuclear Power Station. The inspection will focus on the Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71121.01, 71121.02, and 71122.02; and will include the Radiation Safety sections of IPs 71151 and 60855. The inspectors also will review activities associated with detecting, evaluating, and documenting abnormal liquid releases which could impact both onsite and offsite environments as outlined in selected sections of IP 71122.01.
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 three day pre-inspection visit with your staff for the August 25 - 27, 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 Mr. Curtis Peters 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).
SNC 2 ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Sincerely,
