September 2017 NRC Radiation Safety Inspection at North Anna Attachments:

NAPS 2017003 Rad Haz & Trans Document Request.pdf Mr. McGinnis, Attached is the Initial Information Request for the NRC Radiation Safety Inspection scheduled for the week of September 18 - 22, 2017 at North Anna Power Station. Because there is over a month between the weeks of inspection, and diverse program areas being inspected, I thought it was appropriate to send you a second document request. For those requested documents that are common to both requests, just provide any documents that have changed since the July 2017 information request.

Please let me know that you received this request. If there are any questions about this inspection, or the material requested, please contact me via email, or at the phone number or address included below.

Regards, Bob Robert Kellner SeniorHealthPhysicist USNRC/RegionII/DRS/PSB1 MarquisOneTower 245PeachtreeCenterAve,NE Atlanta,GA303031257 (404)9974508

North Anna Power Station Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2017003 During the week of September 18 - 22, 2017, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at North Anna Power Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, and 71124.08).

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we are requesting in advance 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 no later than September 5, 2017.

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.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this document will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the Publicly Available Records 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.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This document 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.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION 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.

Robert Kellner Sr. Health Physicist US NRC Region II (404) 997-4508 robert.kellner@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. 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, are requested from June 2015 to present, unless otherwise specified. 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 on-site review.

Miscellaneous Listing of primary site contact(s) for each inspection area including name(s) and telephone numbers.

Results of the most recent 10 CFR Part 61 analytical results and characterization of major radioactive waste streams (e.g. Dry Active Waste (DAW), filters, primary resin, etc.)

Corrective Action Program procedures Schedule of major maintenance/work activities during the week of the inspection (Gantt chart if available).

Page 3 of 4 71124.01 - Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls (Last Inspected April 2016)
