SUBJECT:

SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 05000327 AND 05000328

Dear Mr. Shea:

During the week of November 4 - 8, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01 and 71124.08). 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 October 25, 2013.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Jon T. Johnson, at 423-843-8129. If there are any questions about this inspection, or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Ruben Hamilton at 404-997-4672, 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 3150-0011, 3150-0014, and 3150-0135. 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 public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records

Ruben Hamilton Sr. Health Physicist US NRC Region II 404-997-4672 Ruben.Hamilton@nrc.gov Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise.

Electronic media is preferred if readily available (The preferred file format is Word, WordPerfect, 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. An index to the contents is also helpful.

For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspectors will select documents/areas from the list for onsite review. If any of the requested information is too burdensome to provide electronically, simply indicate that the requested material is available for onsite review by the inspectors. Experience has shown that a well-organized CD leads to a more efficient inspection, and lessens additional burden on licensee staff. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. If the licensee wishes to use an electronic document service, such as CERTRAC or a Shareware portal, the inspectors will try to accommodate for the documentation requested onsite. The initial documents should not require an internet connection to be reviewed.

Documentation is requested from the dates identified in each inspection area, to the present (October 2012 and November 2010 respectively).

If you have any questions, please call Ruben Hamilton at 404-997-4672. Thank you in advance for your efforts in putting together this material.
