Hatch Nuclear Plant Southern Nuclear Operating Co., Inc.

Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2022001 During the week of February 7-11, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.08 & 71151).

To minimize the impact to your onsite resources during the inspection and ensure the inspectors have the necessary information to complete the inspection while on site, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this activity. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than January 28, 2022.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, William Pursley at 404-997-4517, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4519.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 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 Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This document 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 numbers 3150-0008, 3150-0011, 3150-0014, 3150-0044, and 3150-0135.

PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION 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.

2 Document Request List Occupational and Public Radiation Safety Cornerstones Licensee: E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Docket Number: 05000321 and 366 Inspection Dates: February 7-11, 2022 Documents Due to Region II by: January 28, 2022 Inspection Procedures (IPs):

71124.01 Radiological Hazard Assessment and Exposure Controls 71124.08 Radioactive Solid Waste Processing and Radioactive Material Handling, Storage and Transportation 71151 Performance Indicator Verification (Public and Occupational)

Note: Please provide the current version of these documents in an electronic format if possible (The preferred file format is MSWord, or searchable .pdf files). To the extent possible, please organize the information in directories as requested below. Recent experience has demonstrated the most efficient method to transfer this information to the NRC is via Certrec. It is best to upload all the requested information in one large zip file. If there are questions regarding the documents requested, or method of transfer, please do not hesitate to contact the lead inspector.

Documentation for IPs 71124.01 and 71151 should be from February 1, 2021. Documentation for 71124.08 should be from February 1 2020. These dates are approximate to the last time these inspections were conducted. Also, provide only a listing and title for condition reports requested for each inspection procedure and inspectors will select a sample from these for in-depth review during the inspection].

If you have any questions, please call William Pursley at (404) 997-4517. Thank you in advance for your effort in putting together this material.
