Farley Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2018-002 During the weeks of April 9 - 13 and May 7 - 11, 2018, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.02, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151). 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 March 29, 2018.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Jonathan Rivera 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/readingrm/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.

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.
