February 2, 2009 Mr. Benjamin C. Waldrep Vice President Carolina Power and Light Company Brunswick Steam Electric Plant P.O. Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461
SUBJECT:
BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Waldrep:
During the periods of March 9 - 13, 2009, and March 20 - 24, 2009, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant. The inspection will focus on the Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71121.01, and 71121.02. In addition, solid radioactive waste processing and transportation activities which are part of the Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone will be inspected using IP 71122.02. Finally, the inspection will review Performance Indicator data for both Occupational and Public Radiation Safety cornerstones using the applicable sections of IP 711551.
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 requested that the subject informational material be made available to the NRC staff by February 17, 2009, to allow preparation for the upcoming inspection We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. L. Grzeck 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).
