SUBJECT:

ST LUCIE PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Nazar:

During the weeks of September 16 - 20 and September 30 - October 4, 2013, the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Plant St. Lucie site (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 September 4, 2013.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Don Cecchet 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, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, Brian Bonser at (404) 997-4653.

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, 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.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter, and its Enclosure, will be available electronically for
