UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION II 245 PEACHTREE CENTER AVENUE NE, SUITE 1200 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303-1257 April 17, 2017 Mr. Steven D. Capps Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC McGuire Nuclear Station 12700 Hagers Ferry Road Huntersville, NC 28078-8985

SUBJECT:

MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION - EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Capps:

From August 7-11, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Emergency Preparedness exercise inspection at the McGuire Nuclear Station. The inspection will evaluate activities in the Emergency Preparedness cornerstone using NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71114.01, Exercise Evaluation; 71114.04, Emergency Action Level and Emergency Plan Changes; and the Emergency Preparedness sections of 71151, Performance Indicator Verification. Prior to the onsite inspection period, inspectors will review the proposed exercise scenario using IP 71114.08, Exercise Evaluation - Scenario Review.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. To minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Mr. Kevin Murray (980-875-4672) of your organization. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Steven Sanchez at 404-997-4418 (Steve.Sanchez@nrc.gov), or the Chief, Plant Support Branch 1, 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 (PARS)

S. Capps 2 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 (Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

The current version of these documents is expected unless specified otherwise. The first seven italicized items under IP 71114.01 are requested as early as practical, but no later than 60 days prior to the exercise, to support the pre-exercise scenario review under IP 71114.08. However, this should not preclude submitting the scenario per 10 CFR 50.4. Electronic media is preferred, if readily available (the preferred file format is Word 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.] Please organize the information as it is arranged below (e.g., a folder labeled Miscellaneous). It is not the intent that large or burdensome data be scanned for this purpose (e.g., Performance Indicator documents). This data will be inspected using original documentation. Material can be provided prior to the inspection to the NRC Region II Office (ATTN: Steven Sanchez), 245 Peachtree Center Avenue, NE, Suite 1200, Atlanta, GA 30303-1257.
