ML20309A201 Harris Nuclear Plant Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2020004 During the week of November 16 - 20, 2020, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the Harris Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.06, 71124.07, 71124.08, 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 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 November 6, 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, or 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 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 Document Access and Management System (ADAMS).

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
