UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 October 15, 2012 Mr. Jon A. Franke Vice President Crystal River Nuclear Plant Crystal River Nuclear Plant (NA2C) 15760 W. Power Line Street Crystal River, FL 34428-6708

SUBJECT:

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Franke:

During the period of November 26 - 30, 2012, the NRC will conduct baseline radiation safety inspection activities at the Crystal River 3 Nuclear Plant. The inspection will focus on both the Occupational and Public Radiation Safety Inspection cornerstones using NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71124.01, IP 71124.06, 71124.07, and IP 71124.08. The inspection also will evaluate Occupational and Public Cornerstone Radiation Safety sections of IP 711551 associated with Performance Indicator (PI) verification.

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 November 14, 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 on-site contact for this inspection will be Mr. Dennis Herrin of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, William Pursley at (404) 997-4517.

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