SUBJECT:
RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION - SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT
Dear Mr. Jefferson:
On December 5 - 9, 2011, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.03, and 71124.04). 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 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 November 14, 2011.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Michael Wallace of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Wade Loo at (404) 997-4727 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/
Brian Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Docket No.: 50-400 License No.: NPF-63

Document Request List Inspection Dates: December 5 - 9, 2011 Inspection Procedures: 71124.01 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls 71124.03 In-Plant Airborne Radioactivity Control and Mitigation 71124.04 Occupational Dose Assessment Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise.
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. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
Assistance Requested During On-Site Inspection
- Identification of work activities during the inspection for inspector observations, including notification of pre-job briefings, notification of diving activities, audio/visual surveillance for remote job coverage.
- Health physics assistance in plant walk-downs assessing access controls, e.g. verifying the posting and locking of entrances to HDR-HRA and VHRA, and SFP controls.
- Health physics assistance in plant walk-downs/job coverage of ongoing activities to assess access controls.
- Discussions with appropriate individuals regarding access controls.
General Information Request
- Plant Management, Radiation Protection, and Chemistry organizational charts w/ contact numbers.
- Electronic copy of relevant UFSAR chapters (e.g., access controls, and radiation protection program).
- Outage schedule, including work activities to be conducted during the week(s) of the inspection.
- Corrective Action Program procedures.
71124.01 - Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls
- List of outage RWPs with their administrative limits, electronic dosimeter dose rate limit, and dose limit.
- Procedures related to HP controls, e.g. (Posting, labeling, surveys, RWPs, contamination control, key control, control of divers, special controls during fuel offload, hot spots, etc.).
Enclosure
2
- Procedures related to release of personnel and materials, e.g. (release surveys, decontamination, guidance for alarm follow up, etc.).
- List of the 10 most exposure significant work areas within radiation areas, HRAs (<1R/hr), or airborne radioactivity areas in the plant. This may include areas with low dose rates but high collective dose. Identify any high radiation areas with significant dose gradients (factor of five or more), including underwater diving activities.
- List of Nationally Tracked Sources currently stored onsite and associated documents that show source reconciliation with the NSTS database.
