SUBJECT:

BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Shea:

During the period of April 9, 2012, through April 13, 2012, the NRC will perform a baseline Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection at the Browns Ferry 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 March 30, 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 Austin 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

Ruben Hamilton ruben.hamilton@nrc.gov (404) 997-4672 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.

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.
