SUBJECT:
SURRY POWER STATION, NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Heacock:
During the weeks of October 31-November 4, 2016 and November 28-December 2, 2016, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Surry Power Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and Radiation Safety Sections 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. 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 in CD/DVD format on or before October 21, 2016.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Lauren Helstosky at (757) 365-3397 (Lauren.D.Helstosky@dom.com) of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at (404) 997-4508, or the Plant Support Branch 1 Chief, 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 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.
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

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. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.
Documentation for the inspection procedures from May 1, 2014 to the present is requested for all procedures, except 71124.01 which should be from October 15, 2015, and 71151 which should be from May 15, 2015 to present. This reflects the last time these areas were inspected.
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 on-site review.
If you have any questions, please call Robert Kellner at (404) 997-4508. Thank you in advance for your effort in putting together this material.
