VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Archie:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region II staff will conduct a problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Virgil C. Summer reactor facility during the weeks of October 4 - 8 and October 18 - 22, 2010.

As discussed in our letter to you dated February 17, 2010, this inspection was originally scheduled to occur in May 2010, but was rescheduled based on discussions with your staff.

The inspection team will be led by Mr. Mike King, a Senior Project Engineer from the NRCs Region II office. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure, Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, issued February 26, 2010.

The biennial PI&R inspection and assessment of the licensees Corrective Action Program (CAP) complements and expands upon the resident baseline inspections of routine daily screening of all corrective action program issues, quarterly focused issue reviews, and semiannual trend PI&R reviews.

On August 9, 2010, Mr. King confirmed with Mr. Jason Weathersby of your staff, arrangements for the inspection team preparation week (conducted at the NRC Region II office) and the two-week onsite inspection. The schedule is as follows:

• Inspection team preparation week (Region II office): September 27 - October 1, 2010

• Onsite weeks: October 4 - 8 and October 18 - 22, 2010 The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection team preparation week. Please have the referenced information available prior to September 27, 2010. Contact Mr. King with any questions concerning the requested information. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.

SCE&G 2 Prior to the onsite inspection, Mr. King will discuss with your staff the following inspection support administrative details: availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact during the inspection; method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection; access to licensee computers; working space; arrangements for site access; and other applicable information.

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).

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the information requested or the inspection, please contact Mr. Mike King at (404) 997-4551.

Sincerely,

/RA/
