Re: Upcoming Surry Inspections Date: Monday, March 30, 2020 1:33:20 PM Attachments: image001.png SUR 2020002 RP Document Request List.docx

Stephen, Per my previous email, and our phone conversation earlier today, attached is the Request for Information for the upcoming RP inspection. The request includes the documents that we would normally request for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and applicable portions of 71151. Given the current SPS policy of non-essential personnel only, and the uncertainty of future travel due to the COVID-19, please focus on providing the requested IP 71124.05 information, followed by as much of the remaining information as is possible, depending on accessibility to the information by people working remotely. Based on a pilot inspection I completed at another site last week, if we are unable to complete the on-site inspection as planned in May, at least we will be able to complete most of the instrument inspection remotely.

If the rest of the inspection activities have to be rescheduled due to COVID-19 considerations, I will you let you know as soon as I have been informed by management.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards.

Bob Robert Kellner, Sr. Health Physicist NRC/RII/EB3 245 Peachtree Center Ave. NE, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 404-997-4508

Surry Nuclear Power Station Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2020002 During the week of May 4 - 8, 2020, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Surry Nuclear Power Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 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 April 30, 2020.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at Robert.Kellner@nrc.gov, at 404-997-4508, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.

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.).

Secure file server access (Certrec, SharePoint, etc.), or electronic media (CD/DVD), is preferred. To the extent possible, please organize the information as it is arranged below. Experience has shown that poorly organized files can lead to a less efficient inspection and places additional burden on licensee staff.
