UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 March 14, 2016 Mr. Scott Batson Vice President Oconee Nuclear Station Duke Energy Corporation 7800 Rochester Highway Seneca, SC 29672-0752

SUBJECT:

OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS

Dear Mr. Batson:

During the week of May 2-6, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at your Oconee Nuclear Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08, and parts of 71151). 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 April 20, 2016.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Bob Meixell. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen at 404-997-4660, 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 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/

Brian Bonser, Chief Plant Support Branch 1 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287 License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55

Lead Inspector:

Adam Nielsen Sr. Health Physicist US NRC Region II 404-997-4660 Adam.Nielsen@nrc.gov Note: The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise.

Electronic media is preferred if readily available. [Note that 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 submittal leads to a less efficient inspection, and places additional burden on licensee staff. Pay particular attention to the date ranges for the items requested as they may change from item to item. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or if the documents cannot be provided by the due date, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
