SUBJECT:

RADIATION PROTECTION INSPECTION - VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT

Dear Mr. Tynan:

During the weeks of September 17 - 21, and October 1 - 5, 2012, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05 and Radiation Safety Sections of 71151). 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 August 29, 2012.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be George Gunn of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen, at (404) 997-4660, 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 Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers
