UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II MARQUIS ONE TOWER 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE, NE SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 January 10, 2012 Mr. Michael J. Annacone Vice President Brunswick Steam Electric Plant P.O. Box 10429 Southport, NC 28461-0429
SUBJECT:
BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT 1 AND UNIT 2 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Annacone:
During the periods of February 13 - 17, 2012, and March 5 - 9, 2012, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at your Brunswick Steam Electric Plant site.
The inspection will focus on the Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71124.01. In addition, the inspection will evaluate activities in the Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstone using NRC IPs 71124.06, 71124.07 and 71124.08, with focus on radiation protection activities associated with effluents, environmental monitoring and waste processing and transportation. Finally, the inspection will review Performance Indicator data for both Occupational and Public Radiation Safety cornerstones using the applicable sections of IP 71551.
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 February 1, 2012, to allow preparation for the upcoming inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Lee Grzeck 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.
