SUBJECT:

FARLEY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mrs. Gayheart:

On April 6 - 10, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, (NRC Inspection Procedure 71124.01). Experience has shown that this inspection can be 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 activity. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than March 30, 2015.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Julie Collier 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 (PARS) component of NRC's

C. Gayheart 2

Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

April 6 - 10, 2015 NRC INSPECTORS:

Carmen Dykes, Carmen.Dykes@nrc.gov, 404-997-4401 IP 71124.01 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls 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: 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.

Please provide three copies of the CD submitted. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Assistance Requested During Onsite Inspection

1. Identification of work activities during the inspection for inspector observations, including notification of pre-job briefings.

2. Health physics (HP) assistance in plant walkdowns assessing radiological hazards and exposure controls (e.g., verifying the posting and locking of entrances to locked-high radiation areas (LHRAs) and very high radiation areas (VHRAs), spent fuel pool (SFP) controls, and radioactive material storage areas).

General Information Request

1. List of primary contacts for each inspection area w/phone numbers.

2. Electronic copy of relevant Updated Final safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Chapters (e.g.,

site description, radwaste program, and radiation protection).

3. List of Site and Corporate radiation protection procedures.

4. Corrective Action Program (CAP) procedures including procedure for issuing condition reports (CRs) and assessing issues for significance and action.

5. Procedures for gathering and reporting NRC Performance Indicator (PI) data.

6. Outage schedule of major activities (Gantt chart if available).

7. Most recent 10 CFR 61 results for the dry active waste (DAW) waste stream.

71124.01 - Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls

1. List of active radiation work permits (RWPs).

2. Have available and accessible surveys and maps of all LHRAs and areas with the potential to become a LHRA during routine operations or outages. List of the 10 most

2 exposure-significant outage area/activity in radiation areas (i.e., HRAs <1R/hr), or airborne radioactivity areas in the plant. This may include areas with low dose rates but high collective dose. Identify any potential HRAs with significant dose gradients (factor of five or more), including underwater diving activities.

3. Latest surveys of independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) areas.

4. Procedures related to HP controls (e.g., Posting, labeling, surveys, RWPs, contamination control, HRA/LHRA/VHRA control, key control, control of divers, special controls during fuel offload, hot spots, alpha monitoring).

5. Procedures related to release of personnel and materials (e.g., release surveys, decontamination, guidance for alarm followup).

6. List of Nationally Tracked Sources and any change-of-ownership transactions.

7. List of all non-fuel items stored in SFP.

8. Inventory list of all sealed sources stored onsite.

9. All self-assessments and audits covering HP controls since March 2014.

10. LIST of CRs related to HP controls written since March 2014. [This should be a list of corrective action documents containing a CR number and brief description, not full CRs.]
