RP inspection document request - Catawba 2022-03 Date: Thursday, July 28, 2022 9:59:00 AM Attachments: CAT_22-03_Doc_Request.pdf

Please see the attached document request. Note that some of the items may be outside RPs purview, so some coordination with other groups might be required (e.g. rad monitor calibration records, ventilation testing records, etc.).

We would like to have the documents available by September 2, 2022. However, if you run into difficulty and need more time for certain items, just let us know and we can work with you.

Also, just a reminder that we would prefer the documents to not be placed in.zip files anymore.

Please call me with any questions.

Thanks, Adam Nielsen Senior Health Physicist US NRC Region II (404) 997-4660 Catawba Nuclear Station Radiation Safety Baseline Inspection Initial Information Request Inspection Report: 2022003

During the weeks of September 12 - 16 and September 26 - 30, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a baseline Radiation Safety Inspection at Catawba Nuclear Station (NRC Inspection Procedures 71124.01, 71124.03, 71124.04, 71124.05 &

71151).

To minimize the impact to your onsite resources during the inspectio n 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 September 2, 2022.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector, Adam Nielsen, at 404-997-4 660, or the Engineering Branch 3 Chief, Binoy Desai at 404-997-4 519.

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.
