SUBJECT:

WILLIAM B. McGUIRE NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Capps,

During the weeks of March 21, 2016, and April 4, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the McGuire Nuclear Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 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 activity. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, thereby minimizing the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than March 4, 2016.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Brian Richards, Licensing Specialist, 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 Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, 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

S. Capps 2

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 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 by Robert Kellner Acting for/

Carmen Dykes Health Physicist U.S. NRC Region II 404-997-4401 Carmen.dykes@nrc.gov Note: This is a broad list of the documents the NRC inspectors will be interested in obtaining and reviewing prior to the onsite inspection visit. The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. Electronic media is preferred, if readily available. (The preferred file format is Word or searchable pdf files on CDROM. Please provide three copies of each electronic media device submitted.) Information in the document lists should contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has knowledge of the subject.

The lead inspector can answer questions regarding questions on specific information needs with licensee staff, and may request additional documents.

We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index to the CD contents is also helpful. For those items requesting a list of documents/areas, the inspector will select documents/areas from the list for onsite review.

If you have any questions, please call Carmen Dykes at 404-997-4401. Thank you in advance for all of your effort in putting together this material.
