EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Vineyard:

During the weeks of February 09 - 13, 2015, and February 23 - 27, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Occupational Radiation Safety Inspection at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant. The inspection will consist of NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and Radiation Safety sections of 71151.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. 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 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 on-site portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the NRC staff no later than January 23, 2015.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory onsite contact for this inspection will be Mr. Steve Tipps of your organization.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Carmen Dykes at 404-997-4401, 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, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, 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); 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 3150-0044, 3150-0135, 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.

Sincerely,

/RA/
