Surry Nuclear Station - NOTIFICATION OF INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Licensee

Contact:

Mr. Stephen Newman, Ms. Maria Groshner From August 10, 2020 - August 14, 2020, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform the triennial portion of the baseline heat sink inspection at the Surry Nuclear Station in accordance with NRC inspection procedure IP 71111.07, Heat Sink Performance.

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.

Section A of the enclosure identifies information to be provided prior to the inspection to ensure adequate sample selection and preparation. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the lead inspector no later than August 3, 2020. Section B of the enclosure identifies additional information the inspectors will need during the remote Inspection week to complete the review of inspection samples. The inspection staff will appreciate if all the documents requested are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the inspection week.

Please note that our inspection dates were changed to August 10-14, 2020 based on discussions with your site staff and updated schedule of activities. If there are any questions about this inspection, changes to the schedule of activities, or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, at (585) 703 8117-Lead Inspector (Cell) or Alexander.Butcavage@nrc.gov, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at (404) 997-4519.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRC's Agency wide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT 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, control number 3150-0011.

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.

Al Butcavage A.

Information Requested for the In-Office Preparation Week The following information should be sent to the Region II office in hard copy or electronic format preferred, (i.e. Certrec), requested by Al Butcavage by August 3, 2020, to facilitate the selection of specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection week. The inspector will select specific items from the information requested below and then request from your staff additional documents needed during the remote inspection week (Section B of this enclosure). We ask that the specific items selected from the lists be available and ready for review on the first day of inspection. *Please provide requested documentation electronically if possible. If requested documents are large and only hard copy formats are available, please inform the inspector. If you have any questions regarding this information request, please call the inspector as soon as possible.
