SUBJECT:

HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Ms. Hamilton:

During the week of July 17 - 21, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Harris Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.06, 71124.07, 71124.08, 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, in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that the subject informational material be provided in CD format on or before June 26, 2017.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff, and understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Chuck Yarley 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 Chief of Plant Support Branch 1, 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.

T. Hamilton 2 This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Lead Inspector: 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.

Please pay particular attention to the date ranges for the items requested, as they may change from item to item. During the inspection, the inspectors may request additional documents. 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.

Documentation for these inspection procedures is requested from the date listed under each program area to present. We would prefer as much of the information as possible in electronic form. An index of 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 onsite review.
