CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Simril:
During the week of May 8 - 12, 2017, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Catawba Nuclear Station, (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01 and 71124.08). 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 April 18, 2017.
We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Sherry Andrews at (803) 701-3424 of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Wade Loo at 404-997-4727, 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

Wade Loo, Sr. Health Physicist 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.
