SUBJECT:

RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION - SURRY POWER STATION

Dear Mr. Heacock:

On October 3-14, 2011, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Surry Power Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.04, 71124.05, 71124.06, 71124.07, 71124.08, and Radiation Safety Sections of 71151). Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order 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 activity. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than September 16, 2011.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Barry Garber of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Ruben Hamilton, at (404) 997-4672, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser, at (404) 997-4653.

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.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Electronic media is preferred if readily available (The preferred file format is Word, or searchable.pdf files on CDROM). Note that the inspectors cannot accept data provided on USB or flash drives due to NRC IT security policies. Please organize the information as it is arranged below to the extent possible. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. Please do not provide records that contain personally identifiable information such as names with social security numbers as those can be reviewed on-site without risking compromise of personal identity information. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
