Mr. Jon A. Franke
Vice President, Crystal River Nuclear Plant
Crystal River Nuclear Plant (NA2C)
15760 W. Power Line Street
Crystal River, FL 34428-6708
SUBJECT: CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT - NOTIFICATION
OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 05000302/2010005
Dear Mr. Franke:
During the period of December 6 - 10, 2010, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety
inspection activities at the Crystal River 3 Nuclear Plant. The inspection will focus on both the
Occupational and Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstones using NRC Inspection
Procedure (IP) 71124.01, IP 71124.04, and IP 71124.06. IP 71124.07, IP 71124.08, and
Temporary Instruction (TI) 2515/179. The inspection also will evaluate Occupational and Public
Cornerstone Radiation Safety sections of IP 711551 associated with Performance Indicator (PI)
verification.
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 November 26, 2010, to allow preparation for the upcoming
inspection
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand
that our regulatory on-site contact for this inspection will be Mr. Dennis Herrin 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) 997-4658.
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
FPC 2
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).
Sincerely,
/RA/
