BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Annacone:

During the weeks of March 11 - 15 and March 25 - 29, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Brunswick Steam Electric 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 onsite 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 February 20, 2013.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Lee Grzeck 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 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.

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.).
