ADAMS ACCESSION NUMBER: ML21314A420

Inspector(s): Gregory Goff (Team Leader)

Fuel Facility Inspector U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Region-II Office gregory.goff@nrc.gov

INSPECTION DOCUMENT REQUEST

The following is a broad list of documents the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors are interested in reviewing prior to the on-site inspection visit. Typically, we arrange an electronic repository/reading room called BOX for such requests.

But, we realize many documents requested could be classified. Moreover, even if not classified, a labor-intensive review must be performed by licensee personnel to verify no classified information is contained within an unclassified document.

Hence, we request a list of the documents below, as applicable, to be uploaded into BOX.

A list of the most current version of these documents is requested. The list of documents provided in response to this request should contain sufficient information to facilitate the selection of specific inspection samples. For exam ple, for any procedure it would be very useful to have the procedure number, the procedure title, and the revision/version number. In the past, just submitting a list of procedure numbers did not provide us with sufficient information.

Some of the information requested may not apply to your specific facility. The licensee is not required to provide documents that are already available in ADAMS. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the information requested, please contact the NRC inspection team leader.
