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. Prior to the on-site inspection period, inspectors will review the proposed exercise scenario using IP 71114.08 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 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 Mr. Rusty Stroud 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).
