SUBJECT:

EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FOR U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION

Dear Mr. Vineyard:

This letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II staff will conduct a biennial problem identification and resolution (PI&R) inspection at your Edwin I.

Hatch Nuclear Plant, during the weeks of November 16-20 and December 7-11, 2015. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution. This inspection complements and expands upon the resident baseline inspections of routine daily screening of all corrective action program issues, quarterly focused issue reviews, and semiannual trend PI&R reviews.

The inspection team will be led by Dr. Abhijit Sengupta. Dr. Sengupta confirmed with Mr. Jimmy Collins, of your staff, the arrangements for the 2-week onsite inspection. Prior to the onsite inspection, Dr. Sengupta will discuss with your staff the following inspection support details:

availability of knowledgeable plant engineering and licensing personnel to serve as points of contact; method of tracking inspector requests during the inspection; access to licensee computers; working space; arrangements for site access; and other applicable information.

The Enclosure lists documents that will be needed prior to the inspection. Please have the referenced information available no later than October 23, 2015. The inspectors will try to minimize your administrative burden by specifically identifying only those documents required for inspection preparation.

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, 3150-0014, 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.

D. Vineyard 2
