SUBJECT:

TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Nazar:

During the week of February 25 - March 1, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at your Plant Turkey Point site (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, and 71124.05). 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 the subject informational material be provided in CD format on or before February 11, 2013.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Ms. Stavroula Mihalake of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, William S. Pursley at (404) 997-4517, or the Chief of Plant Support Branch 1, 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 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site 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 3150-0044, 3150-0014, 3150-0011, and 3150-0008. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor,

2 M. Nazar and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement, unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Brian Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Dockets Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 License Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41

William Pursley Health Physicist US NRC Region II (404) 997-4517 william.pursley@nrc.gov Note: Unless specified otherwise, the current version of these documents is expected.

Electronic media is preferred if readily available. (The preferred file format is MSWord, 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. To the extent possible, please organize the information in the order shown below. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Documentation for these inspection procedures, unless otherwise specified, are requested from April 2011 to present. We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index to the CD contents is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspector will select documents/areas from the list for on-site review.
