Dear Mr. Shea:
During the period of October 15-19, 2012, the NRC will conduct baseline emergency preparedness inspection activities at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures 71114.02 - Alert and Notification System (ANS) Evaluation, 71114.03 - Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Staffing and Augmentation System, 71114.05 - Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness, and the Emergency Preparedness Sections of 71151, Performance Indicator Verification.

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.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Cheryl Sweet of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Mark Speck at (404) 997-4759 (mark.speck@nrc.gov).
