Request for Information: Waterford EP Inspection (71114.04 & 71151) - Nov-Dec 2021 Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2021 8:50:27 AM Attachments: RFI for WF3 14.04 & 51 In Lieu of Ex (Nov-Dec 2021).pdf Importance: High

Mr. Overly/Mr. Bradley:

With the licensees exemption request to be submitted requesting the postponement of the EP Exercise (and associated inspection) to a date to be determined in CY2022, the following annual inspection procedures still need to be completed at Waterford before the end of CY2021. Therefore the purpose of this e-mail is to transmit a request for information (RFI) in support of an inspection of recent changes to Waterfords Emergency Plan/Implementing Procedures and to complete the annual Performance Indicator (PI) Verification of the three EP-related PIs. As such, the attached Request for Information supplements and revises that which was previously sent to the station by Sean Hedger, on August 4, 2021 (ML21216A456).

The inspection will be conducted using IP 71114.04 and IP 71151, and it is my intention to complete this activity during the months of November and December 2021, and document it in the 4th Quarter integrated report for Waterford. This inspection will be completed by one inspector - Ryan Alexander. Depending on availability of records requested to support the revised scope of this inspection, this activity may be conducted as a remote (in-office) inspection, as a partial week onsite inspection, or combination thereof, during the months of November & December 2021.

If an onsite inspection is necessary, it would occur the week of December 13, 2021, as discussed and agreed upon with Mr. Overly during a phone conversation earlier this morning.

In support of this desired timeline and balancing other inspection activities, I request that the materials described in the attachment be provided by the timelines described within via the electronic portal of the stations choosing. As further noted in the attached, if you have any questions/concerns regarding this request or some of the materials are not available to be provided electronically, please contact me using the contact information below.

This request 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 number 3150-0011. 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.

This letter and its enclosures will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
