Upcoming NCS/FP Inspection Date: Tuesday, June 29, 2021 1:33:00 PM Attachments: 2021-003 NCS FP Document Request.docx

Phil, The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Region II staff will conduct nuclear criticality safety and fire protection (annual) inspections at your facility during the week of August 2, 2021. The inspections will focus on the core inspection procedures described in the NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 2600; and will use NRC Inspection Procedures (IPs) 88015, Nuclear Criticality Safety and 88055 Fire Protection. The inspectors are myself, Myla Ruffin and Paul Startz.

Experience has shown that these inspections are resource intensive both for the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to conduct a productive inspection, I have attached a request for documents and specific support needed for this inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date, complete, and ready for the inspectors upon arrival at the facility.

If possible, an entrance meeting should be schedule for 14:00 on August 2, with an exit meeting at 16:00 on August 5. If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact me by email, or at 404-797-4525.

Thank you. - Tim.
