UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 December 22, 2014 Mr. Keith Taber Vice President Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

SUBJECT:
VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Taber:
From May 18 - 22, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Emergency Preparedness inspection at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71114.02 - Alert and Notification System Evaluation; 71114.03 -
Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System; 71114.04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes; 71114.05 - Maintenance of Emergency Preparedness; and the Emergency Preparedness sections of 71151, Performance Indicator Verification.
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 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 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 George Gunn of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Steven Sanchez at 404-997-4418 (steven.sanchez@nrc.gov), or the Chief of Plant Support Branch 1, 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 number 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.

The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic media is preferred, if readily available. The preferred file format is MSWord, 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.] To the extent possible, please organize the information in the order shown below. Experience has shown that a poorly organized CD leads to a less efficient inspection, and places additional burden on licensee staff. It is not the intent that large or burdensome data be scanned for this purpose. This data will be inspected using original documentation. Material can be provided prior to the inspection to the NRC Region II Office, ATTN: Steven Sanchez, 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE, Suite 1200, Atlanta, GA 30303. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
