Lead Inspector: Jonathan Rivera Health Physicist U.S. NRC Region II 404-997-4646 Jonathan.Rivera@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 CD 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.
