EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR NRC PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Madison:

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 Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant during the weeks of September 12 - 16 and September 26 - 30, 2011. The inspection team will be led by Eric Stamm, a Project Engineer from the NRCs Region II office. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with the baseline inspection procedure (IP) 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, issued on 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 June 1, 2011, Mr. Stamm confirmed with Mr. Steve Tipps of your staff, arrangements for the two-week onsite inspection.

The enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection. Please have the referenced information available no later than August 12, 2011. Contact Mr. Stamm 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.

SNC 2 If additional documents are needed, they will be requested when identified. Prior to the onsite inspection, Mr. Stamm will conduct a bagman trip to the site August 17 - 19, 2011. During this visit, he 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).

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding the information requested or the inspection, please contact Mr. Stamm at (404) 997-4575.

Sincerely,

/RA/
