SUBJECT:

BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Hamrick:

During the weeks of February 10 - 14, 2014, and March 10 - 14, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant (Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.06, 71124.07, 71124.08, 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 3, 2014.

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. 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 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 component of NRC's Agency Wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS),

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.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control numbers 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135. The NRC may not conduct or

Adam Nielsen Sr. Health Physicist US NRC Region II (404) 997-4660 Adam.Nielsen@nrc.gov Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise.

Electronic media is preferred if readily available. Note that the inspectors cannot accept data provided on USB or flash drives due to NRC IT security policies. Please organize the information as it is arranged below to the extent possible. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff.

Pay particular attention to the date ranges for the items requested as they may change from item to item. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
