RFI for Waterford 3 EP Exercise Inspection (March 2022)

Date: Wednesday, January 05, 2022 12:31:00 PM Attachments: RFI for WF3 EP Exercise Insp March 2022.docx Mr. Overly, Mr. Bradley:

This e-mail serves to transmit a request for information to support and prepare for the Emergency Preparedness (EP) Exercise inspection at Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, scheduled to occur the week of March 14, 2022 (rescheduled from the week of October 25, 2021).

By design, the biennial EP Exercise inspection includes the use of Inspection Procedures (IP) 71114.01 and 71114.04, to assess the overall health and maintenance of the stations EP program during the inspection year when the biennial EP Program inspection is not conducted. Details of the requested materials are included in the attachment to this e-mail. As noted in the attached, due to the ongoing Public Health Emergency, if possible, please make the requested materials available to me in electronic format using the online document portal of the stations choice, by the dates stated within the attachment.

If you are unable to complete the request by this date, please contact me at the phone number listed below to discuss alternative options.

This letter/e-mail 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 email 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.
