Harris April 2018NRC Radiation Safety Inspection Document Request Date: Monday, February 26, 2018 10:20:00 AM Attachments: HAR 2018002 Rad Haz & Trans Document Request.pdf

Chuck, Per your response to my previous email, you will be the licensing point of contact for the upcoming NRC Radiation Safety Inspection scheduled for the week of April 16 - 20, 2018 at the Harris Nuclear Plant. Attached is the Initial Information Request and a Document Request List.

The NRC inspectors that will be on-site during the inspection are myself, and Jacob Panfel.

Both of us should be up to date on our Duke access training.

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 Senior Health Physicist USNRC/Region II/DRS/EB3 Marquis One Tower Suite 1200 245 Peachtree Center Ave, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 (404) 997-4508

Harris Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2018002 During the week of April 16 - 20, 2018, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Harris Nuclear Plant (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 March 26, 2018.

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.
