SUBJECT:
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST
FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Franke:
During the period of November 14 - 18, 2011, 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 71124.02, 71124.03, IP 71124.04, and IP 71124.05. The
inspection also will evaluate Occupational and Public Cornerstone Radiation Safety sections of
IP 71151 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 4, 2011, 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, Ruben Hamilton at (404) 997-4672.
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
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/
