Dear Mr. Krich:

During the period of October 11-14, 2011, the NRC will conduct baseline emergency preparedness inspection activities at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IP) 71114.02, 71114.03, 71114.04, and 71114.05. The inspection will also review the emergency preparedness performance indicators using IP 71151.

To minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure 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, thereby minimizing the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The inspector has requested that the subject informational material be made available to the NRC staff upon arrival on October 11, 2011.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Don Sutton of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Mark Speck at (404) 997-4759.

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
