NRC 2022 Radiation Safety Inspection - North Anna 2022002 Date: Thursday, January 20, 2022 9:33:00 AM Attachments: North Anna 2022-002 Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Information Request.pdf

Bob,

Thank you for confirming that you will be the point of contact for the upcoming scheduled Radiation Safety Inspection at North Anna.

Attached is the Request for Information for the inspection. The request includes a list of the documents we routinely request for Inspection Procedures (IPs) 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151. If you plan to upload the requested documents to CERTREC, using software to zip the numerous files into a single file prior to upload has proven to be very efficient.

The current plan is to be onsite the weeks of March 14-18 and March 28-April 1, 2022. As of now, Jonathan Rivera and I will be the inspectors coming onsite. I will be onsite the first

& second week and Jonathan will be onsite the second week.

Depending on how things evolve, and if work travel is limited due to COVID-19, we may have to pursue some combination of partial, remote, or reduced on-site inspection time to complete the inspection activities. Please update me if Dominion or North Anna decides to modify, reduce, or limit onsite access. I will you let you know if I receive any information on restriction of travel from NRC management.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Bob

Robert Kellner Senior Health Physicist USNRC/Region II/DRS/EB3 Marquis One Tower Suite 1200 245 Peachtree Center Ave, NE Atlanta, GA 30303-1257 (404) 997-4508

North Anna Power Station Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2022 002

During the weeks of March 14 - 18 and March 28 - April 1, 2022, the NRC will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at the North Anna Power Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05, and 71151).

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource-intensive for both the NRC inspectors and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive inspection, we are requesting in advance documents needed for this activity. It is important that all of these documents are up-to-date, and complete, thereby minimizing the number of additional documents requested during the preparation, and/or the onsite portions of the inspection. The NRC requests that these documents be provided to the inspectors no later than March 7, 2022.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Robert Kellner at 404-997-4508, or the Engineering Branch 3 Branch 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.
