SUBJECT:

EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Madison:

During the period of February 27, 2012, through March 2, 2012, the NRC will perform a baseline Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The inspection will consist of NRC Inspection Procedure IP 71124.01.

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 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 NRC requests that these documents be provided to the NRC staff no later than February 14, 2012.

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. Steve Tipps of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Carmen Dykes at (404) 997-4401, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser at (404) 997-4653.

SNC 2

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 Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

February 27, 2012, through March 2, 2012 Inspection Procedures:

IP 71124.01 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls NRC Inspector:

Carmen Dykes Carmen.Dykes@nrc.gov (404) 997-4401 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, WordPerfect, 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 well organized CD leads to a more efficient inspection and lessens additional burden on licensee staff. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents.

General Information Needed

1. Plant Management, Radiation Protection, and Chemistry organizational charts with contact numbers.

2. Electronic copy of UFSAR chapters 11 and 12 (radwaste and radiation protection).

3. Corrective action program procedure.

4. Outage schedule of major activities (Gantt chart if available).

71124.01 - Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

1. List of outage RWPs.

2. Plant maps of all Locked HRAs and VHRAs. Include areas with the potential to become a LHRA during routine operations or outages.

3. Procedures related to HP controls (e.g. Posting, labeling, surveys, RWPs, contamination control, HRA/LHRA/VHRA control, key control, control of divers, special controls during fuel offload, hot spots, etc.).

4. List of the 10 most exposure significant work areas within radiation areas, high radiation areas (<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.

5. Procedures related to release of personnel and materials (e.g. release surveys, decontamination, guidance for alarm follow up, etc.).

6. List of Nationally Tracked Sources and any change-of-ownership transactions.

7. List of all non-fuel items stored in spent fuel pool.

8. All self-assessment or audit covering HP controls since April 2011, (if none, then provide the most recent).

9. LIST of CRs related to HP controls where the cause was listed as human performance (radworker error) or human performance (HP technician error) issued since April 2011. This should be a list of corrective action documents containing a CR number and brief description, not full CRs.

10. All CRs related to Nationally Tracked Sources since April 2011.
